Power Over Ethernet POE

POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies your network setup by delivering both data and power through a single Ethernet cable, reducing installation complexity and eliminating the need for separate power supplies. At Giganet, we provide a variety of PoE solutions that offer scalability, cost savings, and reliability for modern network infrastructures.

Key PoE Configurations

Giganet offers several configurations to suit diverse network requirements:

PoE Switch → PoE Device: Powers and connects PoE-compatible devices (IP cameras, VoIP phones).
Non-PoE Switch + PoE Injector → PoE Device: Adds power to the data signal, enabling PoE on non-PoE switches.
PoE Switch + PoE Splitter → Non-PoE Device: Separates power and data to power non-PoE devices.
Non-PoE Switch + PoE Injector + PoE Splitter → Non-PoE Device: Allows non-PoE devices to operate through a combination of injectors and splitters.
High-Power Devices: For devices like PTZ cameras or high-performance access control panels that require additional power, PoE+ or PoE++ injectors can provide the necessary power.

PoE Standards & Power Levels

PoE (802.3af): Delivers up to 15.4W.
PoE+ (802.3at): Delivers up to 30W.
PoE++ (802.3bt): Offers up to 60W (Type 3) or 90W (Type 4).

Key Considerations

Cable Quality: Use Cat5e or higher for optimal performance.
Max Distance: Each Ethernet segment can extend up to 100m (328ft).
Power Budget: Ensure the power source meets the needs of your connected devices.

Benefits of Giganet PoE Solutions

Simplified Installations: Fewer cables and no need for separate power outlets.
Cost-Effective: Reduces electrical infrastructure and wiring costs.
Scalability: Easily expand networks without additional power sources.
