SKAARHOJ Eth-SDI Link

Power over Ethernet (PoE) Speci

cations  

We use the PoE industry standard 48V IEEE 802.3af. If you want to power our controllers using PoE it is 
important your switch supports this standard. Please notice some manufactures such as Ubiquity have 
their own non-standard 24V type of PoE which is incompatible with our controllers. Especially pay 
attention to the standard if you use a PoE injector. 

Troubleshooting 

If you experience no network activity at all try one or more of the following suggestions: 

• Use a managed network switch 

• Force network switch port to 100 mbps 

• Try a different network switch 
1GB or 10 GB switches can have issues with our 100 mbps interface if not properly managed. The iMac 
Pro with 10 GB have issues if connected directly to our controller. Try with a USB to ethernet adapter in this 
case.
