PoE/PoE+ Planning and Implementation Guide 2011-09

Introduction
Overview
Power over Ethernet connections to embedded computers will allow a less
expensive installation (no AC cabling, lower labor costs), facilitate updating
the installation and repositioning of end devices (wireless access points,
security cameras, and so forth) without electricians, while maintaining full
control over every node through the internet.
Figure 1-1 shows a typical system implemented to power telephones and
wireless access points. The PoE Ethernet switches are installed to supply
power over the twisted pair LAN cables to run phones or other appliances as
required.
