Learn how Industrial Ethernet devices can use effective cabling for simultaneously transmitting data and for supplying power. Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems are widely used in the industry and will play an important role in the future. Why not use the Ethernet cable for both data transmission and supply?

Although cables usually last for many years, in situations with highly dynamic, demanding movements with high speeds and strong torsion, it is advantageous and cost-effective to monitor the connection systems in order to avoid unexpected downtimes which impair productivity.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) can adds power along with data to Ethernet wiring, so devices can be powered via standard Ethernet cabling. Eaton used a PoE mid-span injector to provide a compact power source in their CCTV camera housings, saving time and cost by eliminating the need to run separate…
