What Is PoE?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network switches to transmit both power and data through an Ethernet cable simultaneously.
Multiple Applications
The benefits of PoE switches have become more evident with the rapid expansion of network-connected devices. They offer more effective solutions for connecting numerous PoE-compatible devices like VoIP, IP cameras, and access points—meeting the demands of most common business scenarios.

Why Do You Need the PoE Switch?
Traditional Switches
Traditional switches cannot supply power for end devices over Ethernet. This requires additional PSEs and extension cables.
PoE Switches
PoE switches minimize cable usage and make things easier by saving costs on power outlets, infrastructure equipment and electrical installation.
-
No Fuss
Simplify the installation and streamline the deployment—no need for electricians.
-
Cost-Efficiency
No need for additional cables and power adapters—reduce costs on infrastructure.
-
Flexibility
More placement options allow for deployment in complex environments.
-
Power Management
Intelligently protects your devices from power surges and maximizes power usages.
What Can You Power with PoE Switch?
PoE switches are separated by their supported standards. Before choosing your PoE solutions, you need to be aware of how much power your devices draw. With that information, you’ll know which standard and business solution suits your needs.

How to Select the Right Switch
Managed FunctionsUnmanaged Switches: Support plug and play without configuation required but also offer sufficient functions like 250 m PoE tansmission, port prioritization, and traffic separation. Easy Smart Switches: A variety of useful features are provided such as VALN, QoS, IGMP Snooping, and PoE Auto Recovery to enhance your network safety and reliability. Smart & L2 Managed: More advanced and high-level management options such as Omada SDN Cloud Platform help control your network anytime, anywhere. |
Number of PortsHow many IP cameras do you need to connect to your network? Make sure you select a switch with enough ports to connect all your devices on your LAN. If your busine ss is at the rapid growth phase, select a switch with abundant network capacity to grow with your demands. |
Port SpeedDetermine the required port speed based on user needs and PD bandwidth. 100 M bandwidth is sufficient to meet the requirements of IPCs system while gigabit and multi-gigabit futureproof your network with higher scalability. |
PoE BudgetEach IP camera has a budget, the minimum power required over Ethernet for it to function. When considering suitable switches, check the budget per port to ensure that it is sufficient to power your IP cameras |
PoE or PoE+· PoE (802.3af) is the original PoE standard and offers 15.4W of power to the Ethernet port · PoE+ (802.3at) is the latest standard which almost doubles the available budget, providing 30W of power to the Ethernet port and futureproofing your network with the latest power over Ethernet standards. |
