Power Over Ethernet

The 10/100Base-TX ports on the AT-8100S/24POE and AT-8100S/ 48POE Switches support Power over Ethernet (PoE), which is a standard whereby DC power is provided by the switch to network devices over the network twisted pair cables. The switches support PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at). For background information, refer to “Power Over Ethernet” on page 41.

Cable The cable requirements of the ports are given in Table 7.
