  • PoE Switch Product Classification

    PoE Switch Product Classification

    There are 8 PoE Classes, plus Class 0 (unclassified). The Class reflects the lowest power level that can be supported by both the PSE and PD, and is determined during the classification “handshake” procedure. Power is injected into an Ethernet cable at a voltage between 44 and 57 volts DC. This relatively high voltage allows efficient power transfer along the cable, while still being low enough to be regarded as safe for. Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows both data and power to be transmitted through an Ethernet cable to devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, phones, and other networked devices. To make sense of PoE, it's helpful to understand the different PoE Types, PoE Classes. Power sourcing equipment (PSE)—A device that provides power through a twisted-pair Ethernet connection. It can be performed only after successful detection.
