What is “Power Management” and how come LAN Power PoE products don use this?
-“Power Management” refers to the process of allocating a limited amount of total power available out to the total number of Ports (usually 24). In simple terms, most other brands and models of PoE products do not have enough total power available to be able to supply the 15.4 watt maximum to all 24 Ports at the same time. To make up for this deficiency, they must “Manage the available Power” to let Users know, through complex software programs and GUI interfaces, how much power is being used by each Port and how much is left for the remaining Ports. This is a total waste of time and resources for the End user. Worse yet, other Manufacturers treat “Power Management” as if it were a feature. At LAN Power, all of our products are built with more than enough total power to provide at least 18 watts to all unit Ports at all times. This exceeds the IEEE 802.3af standard. We don’t have the “Power Deficiency” problems that other Manufacturers do, so we don’t need to use “Power Management” sof
