Get PoE Using Existing Equipment

19 December 2007

Abstract

Many network installations already have recently purchased high performance switches in place but they lack Power over Ethernet (PoE). New PoE network devices offer great opportunities for easy installation of new users, add-ons and peripherals without costly, time consuming and messy additional power wiring (and separate power blocks).
