PoE Switches / Injectors


Bestnet POE switch is a network switch that has Power over Ethernet injection built-in. Simply connect other network devices to the switch as normal, and the switch will detect whether they are POE-compatible and enable power automatically.
POE switches are available to suit all applications, from low-cost unmanaged edge switches with a few ports, up to complex multi-port rack-mounted units with sophisticated management.
A POE injector is used to add POE capability to regular non-POE network links. PoE injector can be used to upgrade existing LAN installations to POE, and provide a versatile solution where fewer POE ports are required. Upgrading each network connection to POE is as simple as patching it through the midspan, and as with POE switches, power injection is controlled and automatic.
PoE injector are available as multi-port rack-mounted units or low-cost single-port injectors.
It is also possible to upgrade powered devices, such as IP cameras, to POE by using a POE splitter. The POE splitter is patched in to the camera's network connection, and taps off the POE power, which it converts into a lower voltage suitable for the camera.
