Overview
Power over Ethernet, also known as PoE, is a technology for carrying power along with data on standard CAT5 network cables, allowing devices to be powered via their network ports. It is supported by some devices directly (e.g. 802.3af compliant switches, the DVTel 9540 IP camera) while other devices require PoE accessories, such as midspan hubs (for switches) and active splitters (for edge devices), in order to make use of the technology. The device providing power, whether it is a network switch or midspan hub, is referred to as the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), while the device receiving power is known as the Powered Device (PD). Power over Ethernet comes in a number of flavors, the most common of which is the IEEE 802.3af standard. The standards most crucial attributes are: o Power is provided at 48 VDC. o Each powered device receives up to 13 W of power after losses. o Power is carried using one of two mechanism: over the data wires (pins 1&2 and 3&6) or over the unused pairs (a compliant edge device must support both modes). o A discovery mechanism allows PoE devices to identify themselves as such and ensures that power is not provided to non-PoE devices. A detailed description of the 802.3af standard is available in IEEE publication SS95312 (http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/download/802.3af-2003.pdf). The below diagram* summarizes the most important characteristics of the PSE-PD connection in an 802.3af-compliant setup.
For units that require greater power than the 802.3af standard can provide, a newer type of Power over Ethernet, known as high-power PoE, is also available. This Power over Ethernet variant is similar to 802.3af but allows for power to be carried on both the data and unused wire pairs simultaneously.
