OVERVIEW

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, complaint with the IEEE 802.3af-2003 specifications. Each DPoE™ Power Patch Panel allows centralized powering of up to 24 devices, such as Internet Protocol-based (IP) telephones, Network Security Cameras, or Wireless Devices, over the same cabling used to provide the Ethernet connectivity. By eliminating separate power connections to each of the devices, the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel provides a more cost-effective solution, particularly in cases where the devices are numerous or local powering is impractical.

The DPoE™ Power Patch Panel can be used in place of current patch panels to inject PoE power into an existing infrastructure without the need for separate non-powered patch panels (i.e., hub architectures), which decrease reliability while increasing cost and wiring complexity.

While the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel may be used as a standalone device, it can be configured and monitored from a centralized PANDUIT® Element Manager (EM). This management system allows network operators to remotely perform routine maintenance and monitoring of any DPoE™ Power Patch Panels in their network. The EM allows operators to graphically view and monitor power panel status, fault conditions and per-port power consumption. In addition, the EM allows the operator to designate power priority to individual ports within each DPoE™ Power Panel. A higher-level Network Management System (NMS) might then use this pre-configured information to guarantee mission-critical devices remain operational in the event of low-power conditions.
