What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Welcome to another edition of StreakwaveTV Learning Center. This video will focus on Power over Ethernet (PoE), which allows the integration and delivery of both power and data over the same cable. Also explained 802.3af vs 802.3at and Active vs Passive PoE.

This overview of PoE will help you understand the equipment you need to use PoE correctly with your device. Learn about Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) such as PoE injectors, PoE Midspans, and PoE Switches.

Learn and understand about the different standards (802.3af and 802.3at), Active vs. Passive, and voltages. This is a practical look at deploying PoE in your network. See a real-world deployment on a fully operational live network.

Josh Kwok, CTO of Streakwave Wireless talks about different PoE applications, demonstrates different approaches to using PoE.

This person takes the time to explain, shows actually the equipment and performs the action.
I just found this video, I will look into your website other tutorial videos as well. Thank you :)

Thank you for the demonstration in the real environment (Machine room) it's easier to understand

[jacobnoori]

Such a great vid. The presenter did an amazing job explaining and demonstrating the topic at hand.

[jakemorson]

one of the better youtube videos explaining POE!

[mariyahsumayya]

good and clear explanation of standards

[leomaredcampos]

All of can't understand.
I don't have POE Switch so, can I used it using my existing switch.
how to setup the cable?

[mustafabasediq]

Thank you very very much please dont stop .

Great video but I have one question. Why did you connect a cable to the patch panel? Should cameras be connected directly to the midspan?

I am building a house and ran all of my CAT6 cables to a central location in my basement. I ran it to all of my rooms and multiple runs to certain tv areas and to the exterior of the house for security cameras. What device do i need to hook it up at the central location in my basement? Thx

Amazing! Very well explained and full of information!!

[olekristianrannekleiv]

Great video!
Is a midspan a layer 1 device in the OSI model?

[blidge]

4.5 years later and PoE is still a pain in the ass.

[Mhargani]

why does our cisco switch is on and working without a power cable connected on it

[jameswiggle]

do poe switch need ac adapter to power on or just Ethernet cable?

I have a Cisco 3750 48 PS-S POE. I also have a Foscam POE camera, well the Camera comes with POE Splitter. The voltage ranges are selectable on the splitter. 5, 9 or 12. Im thinking I just wasted my money on ebay with buying the 3750 for POE any thoughts?

[TheAmazeer]

great video even if you didn 't explain if any network equipment like cameras or Ap etc are poe powerable ?

[astudillojr]

good, I have a question. if I use a midspan and i Have 24 cameras, but the cameras are DC12v 6watts each one, what power supply should I use?

[samhits]

AwSOm AWSOM AWSOM Presentation clear and understanding great just great

[oldelpaso]

hi all I have a question. does the device you're trying to use with PoE, have to be compatible with PoE. or are you able to power any device over PoE. for example I have an IP camera and it has a port for the 12 volt DC power as well as the ethernet cable. will I be able to power this via PoE.

very good Information ...really for a newbie ..
