POE Switches

Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are network switches that have the capability to provide power to PoE-compatible devices, such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points, through the Ethernet cables. This eliminates the need for separate power cables for these devices, simplifying installation and reducing costs. PoE switches can deliver power and data simultaneously over the same Ethernet cable, typically using standards like IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at. They come in various configurations, including the number of PoE ports and total power budget, to suit different network requirements.
