Preparing to Install - Power over Ethernet (PoE)
PoE Power Classification
Power-over Ethernet Devices report the particular
“Power Class” back to the power source, which
is useful for system-wide power management or
monitoring purposes.
Sapling’s IP Analog Clocks are highly efficient
products and consume only 2.5 watts of power
during normal operation.
This power level corresponds to the IEEE802.3af
designation of “Class 1”, which is a power usage
range of 0.44 to 3.84 watts.
Connecting when using a PoE Switch
1) Plug in the PoE switch to a power outlet.
2) Using a CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable, connect one
end to the switch/router on the network, and the
other end to the IP clock.
Connecting when using a PoE Injector
1) Plug in the power injector to a power outlet.
2) Using a CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable, connect one end to the a switch/router on the network, and the
other end to the IN port on the injector.
3) Using another CAT5 or CAT6 patch cable, connect one end to the OUT port on the injector, and the
other end to the port on the right side of the clock movement.
4) If using a multi-output power injector, continue to power the other IP clocks by repeating step 3.
Recommended PoE Injector Specification
48VDC @ 320mA
