PoE Smart Applications for Home, Business, Healthcare & Manufacturing
Power over Ethernet (PoE) facilitates network deployment wherever a power outlet is absent. PoE is not only economical in enterprises and vertical markets, but the technology also offers benefits in the home and industrial environments.
If you’ve been following our blog for a while, you may be aware of the exciting advances that LED lighting over PoE networks is

What is the difference between a PoE injector and a PoE splitter?
The difference between an injector and a splitter is that a PoE injector sends power to PoE equipment that receives data through existing non-POE switches. A splitter also supplies power, but it does so by splitting the power from the data and feeding it to a separate input that a non-PoE compliant device can use.

What Is The Main Advantage of Power Over Ethernet (PoE)?
The main advantage of Power over Ethernet (PoE) is delivery of data AND power over one Cat5e/Cat6 Ethernet cable. PoE ends the need for AC/DC power supplies and outlets. A remote installation costs less than fiber as no electrician is required. Ethernet cable costs less and is often already installed buildings.
This article will explain the many advantages PoE has to offer. What began as an effort

Spotlight: George Zimmerman of Ethernet Alliance Talks Ethernet Technology, Infrastructure & More
We’d like to thank George Zimmerman of the NBASE-T and Ethernet Alliances, for taking time out of his busy schedule to talk to us about his journey from the NASA SETI project and how solving the problem of noisy signals helped lead us to the Ethernet technology we have today.
Opinions expressed here are his own and not those of the IEEE-SA or the Ethernet Alliance.

Product Release: VX-GPU2626 L2+ 24-Port Managed GbE UPOE Switch (2200W)
Switches like the VX-GPU2626 l2+ 24-port managed GbE UPOE switch, solidly place networks in the Power over Ethernet (PoE), Type 3 (IEEE 802.3at/af) category by providing 60W of power per port. This power cushion makes expanding or combining the latest device networks easier.
It doesn’t matter how “late” your company or your client comes to the (PoE) infrastructure table, now is always a good

PoE Lighting, Circadian Rhythms, and the Benefits Beyond Efficiency
Better quality lighting systems have become much more affordable and easy to use. Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology is the perfect support for automated home systems as it sends both power and data to any device in a home network over a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cable.
Because PoE supplies power, homeowners won’t need to hire an electrician to put in additional outlets.

6 Reasons LED Lighting Will Take Center Stage In 2018
The LED lighting market, near 40 percent saturation as of this writing, is expected to reach 61 percent by 2020. That means 61 percent of all lighting is expected to be LED right when the Internet of Things (IoT) hits its 20 billion connected device milestone.
Gartner reports we’re at roughly 11.2 billion now.
It makes sense. From a purchasing perspective, LED bulbs last 20-25 times longer than

2018 Update | Is Ethernet Cabling Still Better Than WIFI?
Let’s not kid ourselves. Wifi is awesome.
No matter how big an ethernet buff you are, the convenience of wifi connectivity is hard to beat.
You can stream, talk, and check email from your laptop or tablet anywhere within the range of a wireless access point. All that being said, wired ethernet can still give WIFI a run for its money.
The benefits of Cat05e and Cat06 are palpable. Say what you will
