Power over Ethernet (PoE), is a technology for ethernet end devices that provides the ability to transmit and receive data, in addition to receiving power over the same cabling. It defines Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) which usually takes the form of an Ethernet Switch, and Powered Devices (PD) which are the end devices in need of power and vary greatly depending on their intended application. PoE has greatly simplified the design and installation of these applications

The Ethernet Alliance will begin prestandard testing of new Power over Ethernet (PoE) technologies during its February plugfest at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL).
Set to be held the week of Feb. 18, the plugfest will focus on prestandard testing of Power over Ethernet technologies against Draft 3.2 of the IEEE P802.3bt standard.
Upon completing the plugfest, the Ethernet Alliance and participating companies will have greater insight into the development of the IEEE’s PoE standard...
Power over Ethernet (PoE) has become the colloquial term used to describe any technology that allows an Ethernet device to transmit and receive data, as well as receive power over the same cabling. The benefits of using the same cable for both data and power are numerous. It allows power to be delivered to small devices without having an electrician wire new circuits or a transformer to convert ac to dc—also referred to as a wall wart. It can also...
Join the UNH-IOL at Ethernet Tech Summit 2015 Peter Scruton UNH-IOL Manager, Ethernet Technologies
It’s here again – blue skies and warm weather – but we’ve also been waiting for more. The time has come to start gearing up to participate in the sixth annual Ethernet Technology Summit in Santa Clara, CA April 14-16, 2015. With the booth shipped and our pamphlets & marketing materials on their...
This year is shaping up to be an active one for Ethernet as the industry builds on innovations that occurred in 2014. The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based testing and standards conformance services for the networking industry, stands ready to support the industry with expanded interoperability testing and support for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (40G/100G), according to Jeff Lapak, senior manager, Ethernet Technologies, at UNH-IOL. The lab sees considerable interest in 40G...
The University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), an independent provider of broad-based networking testing and standards conformance services, announced expanded interoperability testing and support for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (40G/100G) including automotive Ethernet, 25Gb/s serial-lanes, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and Backplane. This activity is taking place within several of the UNH-IOL’s consortia and collaborative testing programs.
Ethernet has become a ubiquitous data service platform for enterprises, but it continues to evolve, and among its latest iterations is an automotive version, designed to provide connectivity within a car over a single pair of wires.
The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL) recently announced some of the steps it will take in 2015, within several of its consortia and collaborative testing programs, to prepare the networking industry for innovations in Ethernet technology. Among the planned activities is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) plugfest the lab will carry out in collaboration with the Ethernet Alliance. The plugfest will be “focused on IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards relevant to IP cameras, wireless access points, automation, and...
As standards bodies and vendors gear up for Ethernet to speed up all the way to all the way out to 100 Gbps, end users are also going to need confidence that their kit will do what it says on the box – and that it'll be interoperable.
