Ethernet PoE Standards

  • IEEE802.3af – Provides up to 15.4W of power.

  • IEEE802.3at – PoE+ Provides up to 30W of power.

  • IEEE802.3bt – PoE++ Provides up to 60W of power.

  • IEEE802.3bt Type 4 – PoE++ Provides up to 90W of power.

Things to Consider When Using Ethernet PoE Devices

Speed & Bandwidth

Depending on the distance, your speed may be slower than the maximum speed possible.

 
 

Power Over Distance

Depending on how much power you require and the number of devices to power, we must perform a power calculation to ensure everything works as designed.

 
 

Type of devices

Different PoE devices require different speed and power. For example, a standard PoE VOIP phone may use IEEE802.3af (up to 15.4W) while a video phone might require IEEE802.3at (up to 25.5W).

 

Benefits of Using Ethernet PoE Devices

Flexibility and simplicity

With one cable and connector powering a device such as a VOIP phone, security camera, or access point, your network becomes more flexible and expandable.

 

Cost Savings

Save money by avoiding the cost of electricians installing outlets everywhere you need a device.

 
 

Reliability

Centralized power management via a PoE switch improves network reliability and allows for backup power setups.

Remote Power Management

PoE allows remote cycling of devices, simplifying management and troubleshooting without on-site intervention.

 
 

Safety and Protection

PoE systems include overload and fault protection features that safeguard devices and your network.

 

Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient PoE standards reduce power consumption and support sustainable IT initiatives.

 
 

Support for High-Power Devices

Modern PoE standards support higher power delivery for demanding devices like PTZ cameras and LED lighting.

 

Future-Proofing

Implementing PoE now ensures your network is ready for future advanced technologies.

 

Ethernet PoE – FAQ

I’m getting quotes from other vendors. They say the only way to make data work past 328 feet is with Fiber or Wi-Fi. Is that true? Why would I choose Ethernet PoE over Fiber? Isn’t Fiber better?

That is a tricky question. At one point, it was true. However, technology has evolved, and PoE extenders are relatively new. Although it came out over a decade ago, it hasn’t gained popularity until recent years. Ethernet PoE has 1 major advantage over fiber in some cases. The biggest reason for choosing Ethernet PoE over Fiber for us have been power. Power over Ethernet provides power to the end devices: Wireless Access Point, PoE Powered Poe Switch, Security Cameras. While fiber data transmission can go substantially longer distant, it does require power. In come case, the location that you want to install these devices does not have power, that’s when PoE Powered PoE Devices has the advantage.

 

What is the furthest distance you can go with Ethernet PoE?

We have implemented Extended PoE up to 300 meters or 984 feet. We also have solutions for 500 Meters. However, this requires the endpoint location to have power. Please note: We only have one device at the end of this daily chain PoE extender. It was a low-power consumption device with an IP camera with no Zoom, Tilt, or Pan. It was a basic camera that consume less than 15W of power. If you are needing to install a device or multiple devices that consumes more power, please give us a call. We offer free consultation and estimate.

 
 

We recently replaced an AP that went out. We plug in the device, but it does not power on. Can you help?

Hi, yes, we can. We offer troubleshooting services for ethernet cabling, PoE devices, and even network troubleshooting. Could you call us now? 512.257.1433
