APPENDIX (B): POWER OVER ETHERNET
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) is designed to extract power from a conventional twisted pair Category
5 Ethernet cable, conforming to the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard.
The IEEE 802.3af allows for two power options for Category 5 cables. The IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard
allows up to 15.4 W of power to device. However, 12.95W is the available power, as some power gets
lost in the cable.
The updated OEEE 802.3at-2009 (PoE+) standard allows is to 25.5W (Max 34.2 W) of power to to
device. PoE has advantages over conventional power in such places where AC powers cannot be
reached or is expensive to wire.
Power Comparison
Property 802.3af 802.3at
Available Power 12.95 W 25.50 W
Max. Power by PSE 15.40 W 34.20 W
Max. Current 350 mA 600 mA
Supported Cable Category 3 or higher Category 5 or higher
For proper activation of PoE, the Category 5 cable must be shorter than 100m and conform
the PoE standard.
With non-Power Sourcing Equipment (non-PSE)
When it is connected with non PSE, the power adaptor should be connected.
With power adaptor
Connecting both PSE and power adaptor does not do any harm to the product.
Disconnecting PSE or power adaptor from device does not reboot the device as long as
either one is connected to the device.
