Is Your Structured Cabling Power Over Ethernet Compliant?

KRONE, Exceeding International Standards, Confirms

Power over Ethernet Compliance of Products

KRONE Australia is proud to advise all PremisNET®

solutions are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af

standard for DTE power over structured cabling

ratified on 12th June 2003

As a member of the ISO/IEC, CENELEC and TIA

working groups specifying the structured cabling

channel and component requirements that support

the 802.3af standard, KRONE was able to ensure all

products were fully compliant as the IEEE and

cabling standards progressed

“KRONE have been able to stay ahead of the

game due to our commitment to being fully

involved in the international standards setting

process”, commented Peter Meijer, KRONE

Australia’s Technical Training Manager & Industry

Liaison

Known as 802.3af, DTE Power (data terminal

equipment) and Power over Ethernet (PoE), the new

standard covers the distribution of low voltage

power through the structured cabling system to

devices such as IP telephones, wireless access

points, security cameras and door entry/access

control systems and a whole host of new

applications yet to be implemented

The ratified standard clears up the confusion over

a number of proprietary implementations Until

now PoE had been a niche product with different

pin-outs and voltages ranging from 6v to 48v These

new standards define the pin outs, and harmonise

the power requirements for all systems

Each of KRONE’s high-quality products have been

designed for currents and voltages well in excess of

those specified KRONE’s PremisNET solutions

contain compliant cables, jacks, patch panels, patch

cords and couplers

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is said to be the next big thing in structured cabling With the power injected at the active equipment it can do away with thousands of wall transformers and kilometres

of messy power extension leads

For Voice over IP (VoIP) deployment, PoE does away with the need for a mains power socket next

to each and every telephone The telephones no longer need to go dead if there is an electrical outage, as DTE power can be backed up by the central communications room UPS system
