What Does the Future of PoE Technology Look Like?
The global industrial Ethernet switch market is undergoing rapid development and change. With the advancement of industry 4.0, intelligent manufacturing, the Internet of Things and other technologies, Ethernet switches are playing an increasingly important role in industrial automation and digital transformation. The overall size of the global industrial Ethernet switch market is expanding. From the perspective of product types, according to the different installation methods, industrial Ethernet switches can be divided into guide rail type, rack type, embedded type, etc. Among them, rack switches occupy the largest market share.
From the perspective of downstream applications, the application of industrial Ethernet switches involves many fields, such as electric power, transportation, oil and gas, metallurgy and mining. It can be divided into PoE, PoE +, and PoE + +.
Since the # Institute of Electronic Engineers (IEEE) approved the first # PoE standard in 2003, the # Ethernet Power Supply (PoE) use cases have increased dramatically in industry, with progress in plant automation, oil and gas processing, and utilities. Currently, # IEEE 802.3bt, also known as # PoE + +, is the latest version of the PoE standard.With the development of industrial equipment and the increasing demand, the power demand for PoE power supply is also increasing. The introduction of higher power POE + + standards (such as the 802.3bt standard) has the following effects on the PoE switch:
Provide higher power output: The higher power PoE standard takes the PoE power supply capacity to higher levels, such as 60 watts or 90 watts. The PoE switches need to support these higher power outputs to meet the power supply requirements of the equipment with higher power requirements.
Support for multiple types of devices: The higher Power PoE standard allows providing power to more types of devices, including high-power consumer devices, high-performance cameras, and wireless access points. The PoE switches need to support the power supply of different types of equipment, providing the appropriate power and current.
Thermal management and safety: A higher power PoE supply may cause devices to generate more heat. Therefore, the PoE switches need to have an effective thermal management and heat dissipation design to ensure the stable operation and safety of the equipment.
With the rapid development of the # industrial automation, the industrial PoE + + switch, as an important part of the # communication network, is gradually becoming the first choice of all walks of life
: Industrial POE + + switch adopts POE + + (Power over Ethernet Plus Plus) technology, which can provide high power power supply for network equipment and meet the power demand of a variety of equipment in the industrial environment. Compared with traditional switches, PoE + + switches have higher power supply capacity, which can support all kinds of industrial equipment, such as IP cameras, industrial wireless access points, etc., avoiding cumbersome power wiring and management, and improving the flexibility and convenience of equipment.
