3 Installing the Power over LAN Midspan 3.1 Background Information
As shown in Figure 3-1, the Midspan is connected in series to an Ethernet
switch/hub. The data outputs from the switch are connected to the Midspan.
The Midspan delivers power over spare twisted pairs (pins 7/8 and pins 4/5) of
the Category 5 cabling, without degrading the quality of data communications.
Most installations require the Midspan to be rack mounted, as described
hereafter.
