Switches
Simplified Network Deployment in Remote Areas without Power Outlets
What is PoE?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows network switches to transmit both power and data through an Ethernet cable at the same time.
Why Should I Use PoE Devices?
With PoE, you can deploy network devices into places where there is no power outlets available through a single Ethernet cable.
Benefits of Using PoE
-
Lower Infrastructure Costs
A single cable supports both data and power transmission. PoE solutions also require fewer power adapters.
-
Enhanced Deployment Flexibility
Freedom from fixed power outlets provides more placement options and allows for deployment in complex environments.
-
Centralized
ControlA centralized switch can manage power allocation to all devices.
-
Simplified
InstallationUse existing network infrastructures for rapid deployment, without the need for an electrician.
PoE and PoE+
As the chart shows, PoE and PoE+ can provide up to 15.4W and 30W of DC power to your devices separately.
Typical Applications and Power Guide
PoE Switches from TP-Link
Managed and Unmanaged PoE switches, specifically designed by TP-Link to utilize PoE and PoE+, can allow you to transmit electrical power and data via a single cable, which makes it much easier for you to expand your network into areas where power sockets are not available.
