PoE is Power over Ethernet, where the power sourcing equipment (PSE) supplies power to the powered device (PD) terminal equipment through the Ethernet cable.

The PD side receives power and control from the PSE side through the Ethernet cable, allowing its terminal equipment to operate.

The biggest difference between the Ethernet power supply system and the current general power supply systems is the Ethernet power supply system can be configured from the main equipment of PSE, only needs to use an Ethernet cable to transmit "power supply" and "network, signal and other data" to the terminal equipment (PD).

Therefore, the Ethernet power supply system can provide lower maintenance costs than the general power supply systems, because the terminal equipment, there is no need for mains socket configuration, power supply and related wiring...etc.

Imagine, that if you want to install equipment on the roof, telephone poles, ceilings, trees, etc., where construction is difficult, how will you lay out the power cords, HDMI signal lines, and equipment control lines? The project is relatively complex and takes a long time.

If there is an “one” Ethernet cable that can be easily obtained the above-mentioned transmission function can be achieved and all complicated construction can be simplified.

After having the basic concepts of PoE application, next, let’s learn about its specifications. Network Ethernet Switch of PoE , that can be regarded as the core of the PoE system. Currently, it is divided into PoE, PoE+, PoE++; Class 1 to Class 8; Type 1 to Type 4... etc.

The classification is as follows:

In order to meet the related usage patterns of PoE products on the market, ZIPPY has developed a full range of related application power products, based on ZRE (AC/DC Type)/ DZRE (DC/DC Type) series, from 600W to 1800W to meet the needs of various usage methods.

ZRE/DZRE adopts redundant power supply planning to provide high-reliability applications for PoE systems; AC/DC or DC/DC power supply are all of the same structure size, meeting users demand to shared chassis, slide rails, …etc. to reduce costs and improve competitiveness.

The PSU circuit architecture is designed using an isolation method to isolate external interference and completely isolate the system from the Device, will be safer and more convenient.

It also has PMBUS power management interface and system integration for remote monitoring, providing users with more powerful usage modes.

Today, we are in an era where a large number of new IoT devices can be powered by PoE technology, especially the high-power-consuming high-speed devices of the IoT. , such as: professional audio, digital signage, 5G small cell radios (mobile infrastructure: 3G, 4G, 5G technologies), 802.11ac wireless access points (WAP), high-throughput wireless local area networks (WLAN), business storage Control, lighting, smart home, building/factory automation, POS terminals, guided kiosks, outdoor IP cameras with attached heaters, monitors, digital ceiling lighting, etc.,

Diverse range of equipment construction is gradually using PoE technology, In order to cope with the diversified applications and controls in the future, Zippy will continue to provide various PoE solutions to meet customer needs and uses.
