Choosing the right poe solution
Which PoE Solution Do I Need?
Find the right PoE solution based on whether you need to power multiple devices, add PoE capability to an existing network, extend the transmission range or integrate non-PoE devices. Intellinet offers PoE switches, injectors, extenders, splitters, media converters, as well as robust industrial and self-healing solutions.
| Application | Recommendation | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| Connect and power multiple PoE devices | PoE switch | Combines network connectivity and power delivery for multiple IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones or other PoE devices in one unit. |
| Add one PoE device to an existing network | PoE injector | Adds power to an existing Ethernet connection without requiring the current switch to be replaced. |
| Extend a PoE connection beyond the standard Ethernet range | PoE extender | Extends data and power transmission beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet limit. Depending on the model, cascading or particularly long total distances may also be possible. |
| Automatically monitor critical or hard-to-reach PoE devices | Self-healing network switch | Monitors connected PoE devices and can automatically restart the relevant PoE port if a device stops responding, helping to reduce maintenance requirements. |
| Power a non-PoE device through a PoE network | PoE splitter | Separates power and data at the end device, allowing compatible equipment without a PoE input to be powered. The output voltage and connector must match the device. |
| Convert a fiber connection to copper Ethernet and power a PoE device | PoE media converter | Converts fiber to copper Ethernet and simultaneously provides PoE+ at the RJ45 port for a compatible end device. |
| Provide PoE in industrial and demanding environments | Industrial PoE injector | Robust design for control cabinets, production environments and installations with extended operating-temperature and reliability requirements. |
