What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Power over Ethernet allows a single cable to provide both
data connection and electrical power to any PoE-enabled
devices such as Wireless Access Points, network cameras and
IP phones. PoE passes electrical power along with data on
Ethernet (LAN)cabling to network devices. It allows you to
install and power wireless access points, network cameras and
VoIP phones.
With PoE you only need one cable for both power and data
so wireless access points and Video Surveillance cameras,
for example, can be installed without having to run power
to inaccessible places such as ceilings and roofs. You can
also protect such devices from outages, by adding a central
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and both monitor
and manage energy consumption centrally - perhaps even
switching devices o when they’re not needed. Support for
PoE can be added to existing networks but, if you’re serious
about it, PoE enabled switches don’t need additional wiring
and are easier to manage. Either way check for support for
industry standards, both on the switches and networking
devices you want to power.
What is PoE power budget?
The PoE power budget is the maximum amount of power that
a switch can provide to all the devices connected to it. If this
is exceeded then devices will not function correctly as they
are not receiving adequate power. In order to choose the right
switch the overall power consumption for the network must
be calculated. This can be done by adding up the maximum
power consumption of every device connected to the switch.
It is essential to consider the current and future power
requirements of the network, since over specifying the power
budget of a switch will result in higher initial costs. D-Link has
two Smart switch families to address dierent requirements,
Smart and Smart+. The Smart+ range has higher power
budgets and is capable of providing higher power per port
than the Smart range which is more economical.
PoE devices can transmit a Discovery Protocol that informs
the PoE Switch of the actual power required by the device.
If the power is less than the default 15.4W/25.5W, the PoE
switch acknowledges the request with its available power
and modies the power budget accordingly. If the requesting
powered device exceeds the power budget for the switch, the
port is either powered down, or the port remains in low power
mode.
IP Phones
IP phones are commonly connected and powered by PoE.
A standard IP phone will consume around 4-7W of power
whereas one with a backlit, colour screen or even video
conferencing capability will use substantially more.
Wireless Access Points
Due to their placements Wireless Access Points typically use
PoE to power themselves. Dierent types of Wireless APs
have dierent power requirements. For example, dual-band
concurrent APs require more power as they broadcast on both
the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies. The latest Wireless AC technology
delivers wireless speeds of up to 1300 Mbps on the 5GHz
band with enhanced coverage and can benet from PoE+’s
additional power.
IP Cameras
There are several types of IP cameras from a basic box camera
to an outdoor pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) speed dome camera
with an integrated heater, each one has a dierent power
requirement.
Basic outdoor IP cameras have a power consumption of about
7W, however additional features require additional power so
that the power requirements increases. An outdoor PTZ will
require a signicantly larger amount of power.
