PoE Switches

PoE Switches refer to network switches that support Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which allows power and data signals to be transmitted over Ethernet cables, thereby providing power to network devices without the need for additional power lines.PoE Switches provide power to PoE-compatible devices (such as IP phones, wireless access points, webcams, etc.) that are connected to them by providing power over the network connection. compatible devices (such as IP phones, wireless access points, webcams, etc.) connected to them by providing power in the network connection.

PoE Switches are typically used when there is a need to simplify network cabling, reduce equipment costs, and increase flexibility, especially when equipment is installed in locations that do not have easy access to power. They simplify network cabling and reduce the need for power lines by transmitting power and data together to remote devices.

PoE Switches can be categorized based on the PoE standard supported (e.g., IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, or IEEE 802.3bt) and power supply capabilities. Some PoE Switches also offer additional management features such as remote power management and device monitoring for enhanced control and management of the network.

Overall, PoE Switches provide a convenient and flexible way for network devices to transmit both data and power over a single Ethernet connection, simplifying network cabling and improving network scalability and manageability.
