In today’s technology-driven world, modern network devices increasingly rely on long cables for power transmission. As these devices require more power, cable usage is also on the rise, leading to unnecessary complexity in setups. This is where Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology significantly changes the game. PoE allows for higher power transmission while minimizing cable clutter compared to traditional methods. One crucial component in the PoE landscape is the PoE switch. In this article, we‘ll explore what PoE switches are, how they function, and why they are essential for modern network applications.
