this channel deserves to take off more. Been here since "the spilt" and i just enjoy this content more.

I work in lighting and we just had a presentation yesterday about POE Lighting and LiFi. That can easily exceed the 100W especially in Outdoor and Industrial applications.

[camofelix]

I'm actually working with POE++ for my Comp Engineering Capstone! really cool stuff, but man is type for a mess right now....

[randallsmith]

This series is going to be very useful to me. We will be buying a new house soon and I want to wire as a smart house and have cameras. I'm needing a basics course on POE.

I just went with ubiquiti for my house, used there switches so that I get pretty pictures in the management gui. I had my 1870's house wired with cat-5e about 20 years ago... I have three pretty poe access points on my walls because, exactly as you say brick, lathe&plaster. I heard the general rule: an ap will reach through one wall, and it has been true for me. I started with two, and added one, because I noticed a number of dead spots that also failed the rule of thumb. First time I have ever had solid wireless, big improvement.

For power users on a budget that want a poe 10gbit sfp+ switch, check out the Aruba S2500 series. You will bang your head against the wall learning how to configure it, but I promise the information to do so is out there. Hint hint, it is extremely similar to Cisco iOS but you make Profiles, and assign the profiles to the port. Ports themselves can't have individual configs, but they can have as many "profiles" as you need to accomplish the goal. They are relatively low power ~50 watts and quiet enough to shove in a closet and not be a bother.

I have mine set up for like 10 vlans, trunk ports, lldp/cdp voice vlan, pre-standard cisco poe output, etc.

I love every video Wendell comes out with! I love getting to learn from him!

Slightly surprised there was no mention of copper clad aluminum (CCA) cable and how it's not ideal, especially in PoE applications.

[Notsodirt]

just started tinkering with PoE+ switch for a security camera system.
the PoE system makes setting this up so much easier.
Thank you for the video.
didn't realize my switch was PoE+ Yeah... more standards that don't standout but need to be known.

[BrianThomas]

Man you guys always lay it down the way it should be. Thank you for a stellar job 😊 in explaining this stuff.

[heckyes]

POE is genius. I was hesitant to go all in on a DIY Home Security system until I learned about POE. Now I love it! RTSP + POE FTW.

[LanceThumping]

Now if only there was a standard for co-running fiber and power. It'd be nice to purchase a standardized cable that you could use to power any fiber devices.
That'd be as close as you'd be able to get for a fully future proofed home network.

[Darkk]

I use Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM 24 port Gigabit Ethernet router/switch with four 10Gbps SFP+ at home to power my VOIP phones, WiFi APs and security cameras. It's a great 24 port switch at decent price point. Configuring it is a bit harder than regular consumer switches but it gives you alot of flexibility of how you want to route your traffic. Also love having a real terminal port on the switch.

[MooreRetro]

And here I am looking for PoE items to make a theoretical network for isps to do last mile power backup like for the phone systems of old. Your timing is impeccable.

Not realistic but it’s a fun thought experiment.

[NoblePineapples]

I use POE almost every install. Install telecommunications in the oilfield on rig leases. We take anywhere from two to four cell signal's band them together through an amazon VPN so they are combined into one, we then use an EnGenius switch for our CloudTrax access points. Most of the time we have a wireless radio that that create a mesh and we hook our AP from there so no POE, but when we run hardlines we use POE so we just need to plug in the AP and that shack/sleeper has wifi.

[TrueThanny]

I used to use a few PoE injectors for my security cameras, but now my NVR has PoE built-in. It does make wiring a lot easier.

[bridgeforseniors]

Thank you, good information - well said.... especially the point about smart homes in the future.

[cottonycloud-]

First time watching one of your videos and this was very informative. Loved it.

[jscancella]

Me: This is so cool! _clicks on link_
Also me: _cries when seeing price tag_

[MikeAzul]

Great video and explanation thank you!
