Powering up in harsh environments: Five questions to ask before selecting the right industrial PoE switch

Powering up in harsh environments: Five questions to ask before selecting the right industrial PoE switch

When it comes to cables, less is more. With power over ethernet (PoE), ethernet cables do double duty, carrying DC power as well as data. PoE saves the costs of power supplies, cables, and outlets for devices like access points, cameras, desk phones, digital signage, lighting systems, and now, increasingly desktops and laptops. PoE reduces OpEx by simplifying and centralizing low voltage management as well as reducing the effort needed for installation and powering of…
