FAQs

PoE switches are mainly suitable for the following scenarios:

    Monitoring system (IP camera)

    Wireless network (wireless AP, Mesh nodes)

    VoIP Telephone System

    Intelligent buildings (sensors, access control systems)

    IoT devices (such as smart lighting)

The common standards for PoE:

IEEE 802.3af (PoE): Maximum 15.4W (port output), actual usable is about 12.95W.

IEEE 802.3at (PoE+): Maximum 30W (port output), actual usable is about 25.5W.

IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++): Supports higher power, such as Type3 (60W) and Type4 (90W).

A PoE switch is a network switch that supports simultaneous transmission of data and power over Ethernet cables such as Cat5e/Cat6. It can provide power to connected devices such as surveillance cameras, wireless APs, VoIP phones, etc., without the need for additional power cords.
