Quick Installation Guide 8-Port 10/100Mbps Switch with 4-Port PoE Model# ASW408POE Ver. 1A 1. Introduction Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is an evolving technology designed to deliver power and transmit data on an Ethernet cable at the same time. Modeling after the technology used in telecommunication systems which supplies power to telephones, PoE powers network device without the need of AC electrical outlets. By eliminating the power cords and the power infrastructure, the technology greatly simplifies the wiring and deployment matters and brings lots of convenience and benefits in home, office, and industrial environments.
