White paper “Remote Powering “

More and more devices and components in modern buildings are powered over the data cable, eliminating the need for an electrical socket. Investors and users profit from lower costs for installation and operation which helps to preserve tight IT and facilities budgets. This white paper introduces the different types of remote powering, their impact on the cabling infrastructure and what has to be kept in mind to ensure a safe and reliable network operation.

Transmitting signals and power over the same cable is a well-proven concept. With remote powering, there is no need for an electrical

connection anymore. No individual power supply, no socket,no electrical cable – and thanks to the DC voltage of less than 60 VDC no need for an electrician to install the cabling, but lower CAPEX and lower OPEX. And as the remote powering can be turned on and off by mouse click by the network administrators, devices can be remotely reset as well, which makes network operation easier and more efficient.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) has been proven its worth for years, Power over Data Lines (PoDL) was developed for Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) and is not compatible to PoE.

This white paper focuses on PoE, PoDL and everything that goes with it – and what has to be minded when it comes to cabling.
