PCIe-PoE2+/PCIe-PoE4+ User’s Manual
Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Neousys PCIe-PoE2+ and PCIe-PoE4+ are x4 PCI Express GigE frame grabber cards
with PoE capability. PoE, or Power over Ethernet, is a technology to supply electrical power
along with data on a standard Ethernet cable. PCIe-PoE2+ offers two PoE ports and
PCIe-PoE4+ offers four PoE ports via independent Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet
controllers.
PCIe-PoE2+ and PCIe-PoE4+ are dedicatedly designed for PoE cameras. Each port
can delivers 15.4 W of power and 1000 Mb/s bandwidth over a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable of up to
100 meters. It features 9 kB jumbo frame and link aggregation, which conduct exceptional
performance for continuously receiving large amount of image data. And for your
convenience, we design PCIe-PoE2+ with the capability of directly drawing power from
PCI-E bus so no external 12 VDC is needed.
The PoE technology significantly reduces the installation and maintenance cost by
eliminating the power wire. Combining PoE and the Gigabit bandwidth, PCIe-PoE2+ and
PCIe-PoE4+ are the perfect fit for your vision application!
