TP-LINK Po E Switches Simplified Network Deployment in Remote Areas without Power Outlets What is Po E? Power over Ethernet (Po E) allows network switches to transmit both power & data through an Ethernet cable at the same time. Why Should I Use Po E Without Po E, you have to make a choice between running a power cable to the area where you want to deploy a network device or deploying network devices based on where existing power outlets are available. Po E provides greater flexibility & ensures that you will never have to compromise when deploying network devices. Po E is an IEEE standard for simultaneously transmitting data & low-voltage power throughout a network using a single Ethernet cable. Po E dramatically simplifies the process of installing APs, IP cameras, IP phones, & other Po E enabled devices in hard-to-reach, outdoor, & remote areas. Lower Infrastructure Costs A single cable supports both data & power transmission. Po E solutions also require fewer power adapters. Enhanced Deployment Flexibility Freedom from fixed power outlets provides more placement options & allows for deployment in complex environments. Centralized Control A centralized switch can manage power allocation to all devices. Simplified Installation Use existing network infrastructures for rapid deployment, without the need for an electrician. Po E & Po E+ Po E devices utilize the original Po E standard, IEEE 802.3af, which provides up to 15.4W of DC power to each device. The latest standard, IEEE 802.3at, is known as Po E+ & provides up to 30W of power to each device. Typical Applications & Power Po E Switches from TP-LINK TP-LINKs Po E Switches are specifically designed to utilize either Po E (802.3af) or Po E+ (802.3at) in order to supply power to network devices. Managed & unmanaged Po E switches are available, allowing you to trasnmit electrical power & data via a single cable. This makes it easier than ever to expand your network into areas where power sockets are not accessible. Managed Po E Switches Unmanaged Po E Switches
