Power over Ethernet is a technique (defined by the IEEE802.3af standard) for
providing power to Ethernet enabled devices over standard Category 5e
cabling. Two techniques (Alternative A and Alternative B) are defined by the
standard and supported by the PES1A/PESV1A.
Alternative A implements a simplex, or „phantom feeding‟ method for
delivering power to the end device. Power is carried on the same conductors
as data. Cabling for standard 10BaseT and 100BaseTX Ethernet (typically
Category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors) uses two data/signal pairs. The
power sourcing equipment (PSE) applies positive DC voltage (simplexed) to
pins 3 and 6. Negative voltage is applied to pins 1 and 2. The powered device
(PD) derives the power from these lines.
Alternative B carries power over spare wire pairs in the cable. The power
sourcing equipment applies positive voltage to pins 4 and 5. Negative voltage
is applied to pins 7 and 8.
Operating voltage is typically 48 volts but may vary from 44 volts to 57
volts.
