5 Advantages of Using a PoE-Enabled IoT Board
1 min read
Explore the advantages of carrying power and data through a single Ethernet cable in industrial IoT installations.
1. Less cabling
Because power and data share one Ethernet cable, the need for separate adapters and power lines is reduced.
2. Easier field installation
Installation becomes more practical in hard-to-reach locations such as ceilings, cabinets and remote panels.
3. Central power management
Device power can be cycled centrally through the PoE switch.
4. Cleaner panels
Fewer adapters and cables make maintenance easier.
5. Backup power scenarios
When the PoE switch is connected to a UPS, the IoT device can continue operating during power outages. NetRelay's 802.3af/at PoE support provides installation flexibility for Ethernet-based automation.
