Managed PoE Switches

Managed Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are network devices that provide both data communication and electrical power over Ethernet cables. This eliminates the need for separate power cords, making the setup more streamlined and efficient. They are ‘managed’ because they offer advanced functions such as VLAN settings, Quality of Service (QoS), and the ability to remotely monitor and control network traffic. These switches are used extensively in systems such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and IP cameras where it is beneficial to reduce cabling and enjoy greater control and management of the network.
