Power over Ethernet Adapters

Benefits of Power over Ethernet brings many advantages to a wireless network installation:

• Time and cost savings - by reducing the time and expense of having electrical power cabling installed.  Network cables do not require a qualified electrician to fit them, and can be located anywhere.
• Flexibility - without being connected to an electrical outlet, devices such as IP cameras wireless access points, and wireless bridge antennas can be located wherever they are needed most, and re-positioned easily if required. (within 100m maximum distance)
• Safety - POE delivery is intelligent, and designed to protect network equipment from overload, under powering, or incorrect installation.
• Reliability - POE power comes from a central and universally compatible source, rather than a collection of distributed wall adapters.  It can be backed-up by an uninterruptible power supply, or controlled to easily disable or reset devices.

GNS Wireless stocks a wide variety of power over Ethernet adapters including the following:

• Single Port 24V Power Over Ethernet injector
• Single Port 48V Power Over Ethernet injector
• Outdoor 5 Port POE Switch
• Outdoor 8 Port POE Switch
• 5 Port Ubiquiti Router with Power Over Ethernet

A digital security camera normally requires two connections to be made when it is installed:

1. A network connection, in order to be able to communicate with video recording and display equipment
2. A power connection, to deliver the electrical power the camera needs to operate

If the camera is POE-enabled, only the cat5e Ethernet network connection needs to be made, as it will receive its electrical power from this cable as well uses 4 of the 8 wires inside the single cat5e.
