Preface

PoE is the English abbreviation of Power over Ethernet, which transmits power and data through twisted pair cables in network cables. The PoE solution simplifies the power supply and wiring of the device, no longer requires a separate adapter and no longer needs a 220V power supply, simplifies the installation of the device, and is widely adopted by cameras and APs.

The charging head network summarizes the six PoE power supplies of six brands that have been disassembled, although they look different in appearance, but they are essentially connected network cables and network transmission. Let's take a look at the different understandings of PoE by different brands, as well as the differences in products.

Apple

Apple iMac 24 inch original adapter

As the original adapter for iMac, it has a classic square design, but compared to the MacBook charger, it is not only functional to power power, it also comes with a special output cable, so that the product can both power and connect to the Internet. At the same time, the input power cable is detachable, and the cable of different lengths can be replaced, which is convenient to use.

Summary of the charging head network

Through disassembly and summary, it is found that PoE power supply equipment can be basically divided into two categories, one of which is general-purpose, which supports power supply for different brands of equipment to meet the power supply of cameras and APs. There is also a tailor-made for your own equipment, which also uses PoE characteristics to simplify the cable and make it more beautiful and concise.

General-purpose PoE devices use the industry-standard 53.5V supply voltage, while dedicated power delivery devices, regardless of versatility, use a lower supply voltage and use other interfaces for data transmission. Although there are many forms of connecting devices, not limited to network cables, the essence of connecting network cables for data transmission remains the same.
