Why Power over Ethernet?
The LAN, to date, has been utilized for Data Flow only. Central equipment such as, Hubs, Routers and Switches are plugged into the mains, as is the User Terminal. An independent infrastructure is the telephone system, in which the end terminal does not need to be connected to the mains. Recent trends in telecommunications are attempting to marry traditional telephony with today’s networks. IP Telephony converges voice and data, opening a new world of opportunities and features. This serves today’s telephony well, until faced with a power failure or lack of a mains socket, presenting reliability issues. PowerDsine addresses this issue by injecting power over the spare pairs of the TIA/EIA-588 Category 5 and above cable. This in itself solves the IP telephone power problem and opens doors to new applications for the LAN. PowerDsine Power over Ethernet technology converges power, voice and data by delivering an electrical supply and data communications over a single standard LAN cable. Th
