With the use of Power over Ethernet (PoE) products, Axis network video products can receive both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. The PoE products enable Axis network cameras and video servers to be installed in areas where traditional power cabling and outlets are unavailable or difficult to install. Power over Ethernet offers an easier, faster and more cost-effective solution than installing new power outlets and electrical cabling.
Features
- No need for power outlets - Network cameras and video servers can be located in places where traditional power cabling and outlets are unavailable or difficult to install.
- Uninterrupted power supply - When using the Power over LAN Midspans together with uninterrupted power supply (UPS) devices, Axis' network cameras and video servers can continue to operate even when there is a power failure.
- Low installation costs - Avoids the need for separate power and data cable infrastructure and costly AC outlets. No electrician is needed -- the IT department or IT reseller/installer can do the job.
- IEEE 802.3af compliance - The Power over LAN Midspans and PoE AF Active Splitter are IEEE 802.3af compliant, which ensures compatibility with future power over Ethernet products.
Power over LAN Midspans are available in 1, 6 and 12-port versions. A Power over LAN Midspan uses the unused pairs in a standard Cat 5 network cable to supply power to Power over Ethernet-enabled products.
Power over Ethernet AF Active Splitter and Power over LAN Active Splitter separate data and power coming over a network cable. The active splitters enable Axis network video products that lack built-in support for Power over Ethernet to receive both power and data from a network connection.
