Power over Et hernet ( PoE) is a t echnology t hat passes elect rical power along
an Et hernet cable. PoE is used where DC power is not available and USB
unsuit able. Power can be supplied at t he end of a net work span or som ewhere
in t he m iddle. PoE swit ches supply power at t he end of a span. PoE inj ect ors
supply power som ewhere bet ween t he PoE swit ch and t he powered device.
They inj ect power and do not affect t he dat a.
