  We often hear a device called “ POE switch ” in the construction of wireless WiFi in large and medium-size places or the construction of video transmission network for security monitoring. So, what is a POE switch and how does it work? In this article, let’s find out together. What is Power over Ethernet (PoE) Technology ? PoE (Power over Ethernet) refers to a technology that transmits electric power and data simultaneously over twisted-pair Ethernet cable to IP terminal devices (such as IP phones, APs, IP cameras, etc.) PoE technology enables the security of existing structured cabling while ensuring the normal operation of the network, which greatly minimizing costs. Why PoE Switch? With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities, there are more and more mobile terminals such as wireless APs, cameras, and IP phones,the deployment location of this type of terminal is very flexible, and the way of power supply by wires is difficult, resulting in high wiring costs. ...
