Some of the poe terminology used is.
Switching mode power supply poe.
A poe switch is a network switch that has power over ethernet injection built in.
Powered device pd a network device ip phone access point camera etc that requires power.
Data signals cannot interfere with power signals since both signals are at opposite ends of the electromagnetic spectrum.
A switched mode power supply smps is an electronic circuit that converts power using switching devices that are turned on and off at high frequencies and storage components such as inductors or capacitors to supply power when the switching device is in its non conduction state.
What types of tools make poe and poe switch installation easier.
In 10base t and 100base t the two pairs are not used for transmitting data.
Simply connect other network devices to the switch as normal and the switch will detect whether they are poe compatible and enable power automatically.
Power sourcing equipment pse a network device switch router etc that provides power.
Power is supplied as a common mode signal over two or more of the differential pairs of wires found in the ethernet cables and comes from a power supply within a poe enabled networking device such as an ethernet switch or can be injected into a cable run with a midspan power supply.
Poe switches are available to suit all applications from low cost unmanaged edge switches with a few ports up to complex multi port rack mounted units with sophisticated management.
Ubiquiti devices can use two types of poe output modes.
The camera s network connection is tied into the poe splitter and taps into the power over ethernet.
The 15v 0 8a and 24v 0 5a models poe 15 12w poe 24 12w and poe 24 12w g work with the airgateway to bridge airmax connections to wi fi at customer locations.
Poe power over ethernet technology allows pse power sourcing equipment such as a poe switch to use ethernet cables to deliver both power and data simultaneously to pd powered device like ip cameras and voip phones which can simplify cabling installation and save cost.
Example output modes are ieee 802 3af 802 3at and 802 3bt.
Alternative a poe mode a the poe switch supplies power to pds by data pair 1 2 and pair 3 6.
Mode a utilizes data pairs 1 2 and 3 6 to deliver power.
The power is then converted into low voltage power acceptable to power the device.
Alternative b poe mode b the poe switch delivers power to pds via pair 4 5 and pair 7 8.
A switched mode power supply switching mode power supply switch mode power supply switched power supply smps or switcher is an electronic power supply that incorporates a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently.
There are a variety of tools available to test and install power over ethernet devices.
Active poe the voltage that the powered device pd needs is negotiated.
