With this insight, AV engineers and system designers can ensure compatibility and reliable performance across. Power over Ethernet (PoE) describes any of several standards or ad hoc systems that pass electric power along with data on twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both a data connection and enough electricity to power networked devices such as wireless access points. The single biggest cause of PoE not working is a wattage mismatch between the power sourcing equipment and the powered device. Power is passed from Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) over the twisted pairs to Powered Devices (PD) such as IP phones, IP cameras, card. IEEE 802.
