Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a measure that allows Ethernet cables to simultaneously transfer data and power using a single network cable. This permits system integration and network installers to establish powered appliances in areas that lack electrical circuitry.
In addition, PoE stops the cost of installing extra electrical wiring, requiring professional electrical installers to assure that strict conduit regulations are followed. PoE technology transmits 10/100/1000 Mbps of data and 15W, 30W, 60W, and up to 90W of power budget to appliances over Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a. Cat7 and Cat8 Ethernet cables for the highest distance of 100m.
