Gigabit Fast Ethernet Inline Protector Power over Ethernet - POE
Protects fast gigabit ethernet LAN equipment such as hubs, switches and network interface cards from induced lightning and electrostatic discharge. The devise is designed for indoor or outdoor use, inside a weatherproof enclosure.
Power over Ethernet (POE) is a technology that lets network cables carry electrical power. For example, a digital security camera normally requires two connections to be made when it is installed :
- A network connection, in order to be able to communicate with video recording and display equipment
- A power connection, to deliver the electrical power the camera needs to operate
However, if the camera is POE-enabled, only the network connection needs to be made, as it will receive its electrical power from this cable as well.
