Standard connection: Use one Ethernet cable, with one end plugged into the LAN port of the router and the other end plugged into any regular data port of the PoE switch (non Uplink port, some switches have dedicated Uplink ports for cascading, not used here). Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch are at the core of the modern-day network configurations, to enable an effortless integration of both the power and data channels. A PoE. But is it possible to use the POE switch as a standard switch? Of course, it is doable! But, depending on your device, you must choose the switch that best supports your desires. For example, you can use either the POE or the regular switch. A regular switch, on the other hand, merely supplies the internet signal. 1、 Understand PoE switches and routers (1) PoE switch PoE switch is a network. Power Over Ethernet refers to the technology of transmitting data signals to some IP-based terminals without making any changes to the existing Ethernet Cat. Ordinary LAN ports are terminal access. However, many users often wonder: Can a PoE port be directly connected to a regular network device? The answer is yes, but certain conditions must be met. How PoE Technology Works To understand this question, we first need to understand how PoE technology works.
