PoE allows the electrical power necessary for the operation of each end-device, to be carried by data cables rather than by separate power cords. It minimizes the number of wires that must be used in order to install the network, resulting in lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater installation flexibility. PoE enables quality power for IP telephones (VoIP) and many other low power Ethernet network devices like the Wireless LAN access points and security cameras. PoE Midspan Range of Products PowerDsine�s IEEE 802.3af standard compliant 6500 and 3000 Power over Ethernet Midspan families, as well as the 6000G (Gigabit) and 8000 (High Power) Midspans offer a highly cost-effective and reliable means for upgrading the network to Power over Ethernet without replacing existing Ethernet switches. PowerDsine�s PoE Midspan products offer a number of advantages. A single Cat 5 cable provides both data and power eliminating the need for a separate wire to power the end devices. Wireless LAN APs and security cameras can be installed without the additional expense of contracting an electrician to install AC outlets where deployed. It further gives the option to install in places where performance is optimum and not tethered to an existing AC outlet. This is especially vital for devices like Wireless LAN APs, which may be installed in hard to reach places like the ceiling in order to achieve the broadest coverage.
