PoE
What is PoE +
The original IEEE 802.3af-2003 PoE standard provides up to
15.4 W of DC power (minimum 44 V DC and 350 mA to each
device. Only 12.95 W is assured to be available at the powered
device as some power is dissipated in the cable. The updated
IEEE 802.3at PoE standard also known as PoE+ or PoE plus,
provides up to 25.5 W of power.
PoE+ is benecial for devices that require more power such as
Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras, thin clients and video phones. It also
expands PoE functionality to a wider range, making it possible
to power a larger number of edge devices from a single PoE port.
How can PoE be Green?
Using D-Link’s integrated time-based PoE functionality, it is
possible to automatically shut down ports which also shut
down the devices on a predened schedule, saving power,
money and increasing security.
Benets of PoE
•
Reduced Costs – With PoE, only one cable - a simple
CAT-5 Ethernet is required to be routed to each device
instead of two and fewer power adapters are needed.
In large organisations this brings a major cost reduction.
•
Flexibility – A PoE enabled appliance can be installed
virtually anywhere; without the need for AC outlets.
This provides exibility and scalability in placing this
network equipment – Switches, Wireless Access Points,
and IP Cameras – at the most optimal locations instead of
locations where power is available. This also enables
better network designs.
•
Reliability - PoE infrastructure enables centralised power
management that provides back up with an Uninterrupted
Power Supply (UPS) to the devices and all the distributed
PD networking devices; even during power failures this
ensures the reliability and availability of powered devices.
•
Network Control – Network administrators can control
and monitor devices using SNMP. Devices can be powered
down when not in use or if there is unauthorised access,
which allows for increased security.
• Simplicitytoadd,moveandchangethenetwork-
PoE-enabled switches help network additions, moves and
changes to be accomplished faster. It allows the network
to be more exible and accommodating to changing
business and network requirements.
• CentralisedPowerManagement- Centrally managed
power enables remote shutdown or remote reset
capabilities. Through managing a PoE-enabled LAN switch
via a web browser or by SNMP, remote networking devices
can be easily reset or shut down saving the time and
expense of dispatching a technician.
• Security- Shutting down unnecessary PoE network
devices when no one is at the oce ensures better
business security.
• Eco-friendly- As with security, shutting down unnecessary
PoE network devices can also save power and money for a
business.
