Hardware Guide 

Input/Output Ports 

Ethernet ports 

Device is compatible with passive (non‐standard) Power over Ethernet. The board accepts voltage input from 8 

to 30 V DC. It is suggested to use higher voltages for power over long cables because of better efficiency (less 

power is lost in the cable itself and power supply is more efficient).  

See 

Connector Index

 for pinout of the standard cable required for PoE. All cables made to EIA/TIA 568A/B 

cable specifications will work correctly with PoE. Note that this port supports automatic cross/straight cable 

correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross‐over cable for connecting to other devices.
