The Pro Safe 8 port switch FS108P can supply both data & electricity at the same time over a Cat 5e cable, using Power over Ethernet (Po E) technology. 4 of the 8 ports can in addition provide a supply voltage for end devices, using standards-based IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet. Extended autosensing algorithms ensure that only 802.3af end devices will be supplied with electricity, which prevents damage to devices without Po E support.
Po E simplifies & optimises network installation, since connected end devices are no longer dependent on a power socket being close at h&. This is particularly beneficial for access points, surveillance cameras & similar equipment, as these can now always be placed in the optimal location (for example, on the ceiling).
