PoE
and Coaxial cables are meant for different purposes. Both can’t be
interchangeably used. While Coaxial cable is used to transfer low-level
frequencies or as transmission lines, on another side, PoE (Power over
Ethernet) is used to transfer abroadband
signal between computers and other related devices. PoE was first introduced in
1980 to replace the wired LAN technologies. However, there is one important
aspect of PoE.
PoE
was made to comprise the two functions of a cable. Along with the transmission
of data, it can also supply electric power to the connected devices or
equipment. Thus, it is one fit cable to satisfy the need of network connection
as well as power connection in a single cable. PoE is mainly used for low
powered devices like PC, Laptop, Mobile Phones, VoIP products, IP Cameras,
Surveillance equipment, ATM Machines, Intercoms, Vending machines, a recent
entrant to utilise PoE is lighting, and much more.
PoE has a great role to play at business or
enterprise off-site locations and offices. Going for two separate lines- one
for network and another for power is only
going to mess up your circuit as well as costs. Moreover, such has more
disadvantages. Now, instead of briefing disadvantages of two separate lines,
let us see the benefits of PoE.
Advantages of PoE
1. Flexibility: As PoE eliminates the need for two separate lines, devices that are
compatible with PoE can be easily moved
from one place to another. All you need is a good PoE cables and PoE switch
like Milesight 4K H.265 PoE NVR 5000 [MS-N5016-UPT]. Moreover, there is no AC
power constraint in the whole picture.
2. Scalability: As PoE supply electric power (along
with data transfer), installation, distribution and more importantly expansion
of network connection at your enterprise location is easy, simple, fast, and
requires marginal investment. Thus, as your business grows and demands upgraded
the network with PoE, it’s easy at lower
costs. This advantage is also applicable for creating a temporary network
deployment like at tradeshows, meetings, virtual classrooms, etc. PoE is as
simple as Plug-N-Play.
3. Safety - POE safeguards your network based
equipment from electric overload as PoE works with low voltage requirement.
4. Reliability: POE it lets Centralised Power Management arrive
at your enterprise location. PoE eliminates the need of distributed UPS
replacing it with centrally managed single UPS. Moreover, along with the above
factor and as PoE works with standardised,
universally accepted, and compatible Adapters, network equipment can be easily backed-up
by thecontinuouspower supply of your
office. And let you disable or reset
devices without any special skills. Further, PoE obliges to IEEE’s 802.3 standards.
5. Savings
of Time and Money:
Money is saved by eliminating two circuits (electric and network) and for such,
thehiring of skilled personnel for
maintenance and repair is no more a scenario. With this,
time savings, too.
PoE is one of the advanced cable technology.
It has several benefits for your business or enterprise offsite as well as
offices. Without any doubt, it is essential for growing businesses as it is
flexible, scalable, reliable, and comes at alower
cost.
