PoE at a Glance – Five Points

PoE offers stable network connectivity and significantly reduced installation costs by eliminating the need to extend electrical power to each respective installation point. Devices such as IP cameras, access points, and telephony solutions are more easily installed in remote locations using PoE. For your specific project needs, TRENDnet offers a wide selection of PoE and PoE+ switches, splitter, injectors, IP cameras, and access points.

1. PoE vs. PoE+
A PoE+ switch (IEEE 802.3at standard) provides up to 30 Watts of power per port and will automatically supply only 15 watts to more common PoE devices. Standard PoE switches (IEEE 802.3af standard) however can only provide up to 15 Watts of power to a connected device. TRENDnet recommends sourcing a PoE+ switch, to accommodate all PoE solutions, if there is the potential of installing PoE+ devices in the near future.

2. Unmanaged PoE / PoE+ Switches
Unmanaged PoE+ switches automatically supply the appropriate amount of power to connected PoE and non-PoE devices. These plug and go solutions offer performance and value with no management capabilities. TRENDnet’s extensive line of PoE and PoE+ unmanaged switches has a reputation for proven reliability.

3. Web Smart PoE / PoE+ Switches
TRENDnet Web Smart PoE+ Switches offer advanced management capabilities at a reduced cost. Web Smart switches are accessible through a convenient web-based graphical user interface (GUI) and support advanced network segmentation, third party network monitoring (with SNMP and RMON), network troubleshooting tools, and access controls. TRENDnet Web Smart solutions are well suited as a backbone component of a small and medium size business (SMB) network.

4. PoE Access Points
Indoor and outdoor PoE Access Points are the most popular SMB solution to extend wireless networks and to bridge networks over a long distance. PoE solutions save installation man-hours and costs, by eliminating the need to extend an electrical connection to each installation point. Additionally, the stability offered by a PoE connection to the access point reduces long term network maintenance.

5. PoE Accessary

PoE Accessary offers full range of network telecommuncation accessory like PoE injectors,PoE extenders,PoE splitters and Wireless AP etc which can help to save the installation cost and Its the most economic solutions for systems integrations.
