Power over Ethernet overview
This section provides an overview of the requirements for delivering power over the LAN, as defined
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE) in the 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at
(PoE+) specifications.
Brocade PoE devices provide Power over Ethernet, compliant with the standards described in the
IEEE 802.3af specification for delivering inline power. Brocade PoE+ devices are compliant with
both the 802.3af and 802.3at specifications. The 802.3af specification defined the original
standard for delivering power over existing network cabling infrastructure, enabling
multicast-enabled full streaming audio and video applications for converged services, such as,
Voice over IP (VoIP), Wireless Local Area Access (WLAN) points, IP surveillance cameras, and other
