What Is Power Over Ethernet? POE+? POE++? - Part 1

[@zachkenny4489]

this channel deserves to take off more. Been here since "the spilt" and i just enjoy this content more.

[@toadbroz30]

Split from what?

[@Magpie1701]

From Tech Syndicate I imagine.

[@Arbiter099]

@starshipeleven Oh you have such a juicy piece of drama to unearth

[@TosicTech]

[@gtomaras]

I work in lighting and we just had a presentation yesterday about POE Lighting and LiFi. That can easily exceed the 100W especially in Outdoor and Industrial applications.

[@petersilva037]

I just went with ubiquiti for my house, used there switches so that I get pretty pictures in the management gui. I had my 1870's house wired with cat-5e about 20 years ago... I have three pretty poe access points on my walls because, exactly as you say brick, lathe&plaster. I heard the general rule: an ap will reach through one wall, and it has been true for me. I started with two, and added one, because I noticed a number of dead spots that also failed the rule of thumb. First time I have ever had solid wireless, big improvement.

[@randallsmith2521]

This series is going to be very useful to me. We will be buying a new house soon and I want to wire as a smart house and have cameras. I'm needing a basics course on POE.

[@somebonehead]

Same, sometimes it feels like I'm better off starting from scratch though

[@thedigitalrealm7155]

Its super easy. Most APs will function on PoE+ (30W) standard. Even the models that 'require' PoE++ will still work, albeit with lower performance. For the home you just want a simple mesh where one of the APs will also function as the controller and dish out config to the rest.

[@techkpd7681]

I love every video Wendell comes out with! I love getting to learn from him!

[@camofelix]

I'm actually working with POE++ for my Comp Engineering Capstone! really cool stuff, but man is type for a mess right now....

[@Notsodirt]

just started tinkering with PoE+ switch for a security camera system. the PoE system makes setting this up so much easier. Thank you for the video. didn't realize my switch was PoE+ Yeah... more standards that don't standout but need to be known.

[@zachicusmaximus5551]

For power users on a budget that want a poe 10gbit sfp+ switch, check out the Aruba S2500 series. You will bang your head against the wall learning how to configure it, but I promise the information to do so is out there. Hint hint, it is extremely similar to Cisco iOS but you make Profiles, and assign the profiles to the port. Ports themselves can't have individual configs, but they can have as many "profiles" as you need to accomplish the goal. They are relatively low power ~50 watts and quiet enough to shove in a closet and not be a bother. I have mine set up for like 10 vlans, trunk ports, lldp/cdp voice vlan, pre-standard cisco poe output, etc.

[@Darkk6969]

Yep. Plenty of them as used on e-bay on the cheap. Great for home lab use.

[@BrianThomas]

Man you guys always lay it down the way it should be. Thank you for a stellar job 😊 in explaining this stuff.

[@jonboy2950]

POE is great been using it for years.

[@Darkk6969]

I use Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM 24 port Gigabit Ethernet router/switch with four 10Gbps SFP+ at home to power my VOIP phones, WiFi APs and security cameras. It's a great 24 port switch at decent price point. Configuring it is a bit harder than regular consumer switches but it gives you alot of flexibility of how you want to route your traffic. Also love having a real terminal port on the switch.

[@dangerousmythbuster]

Slightly surprised there was no mention of copper clad aluminum (CCA) cable and how it's not ideal, especially in PoE applications.

[@NoblePineapples]

I use POE almost every install. Install telecommunications in the oilfield on rig leases. We take anywhere from two to four cell signal's band them together through an amazon VPN so they are combined into one, we then use an EnGenius switch for our CloudTrax access points. Most of the time we have a wireless radio that that create a mesh and we hook our AP from there so no POE, but when we run hardlines we use POE so we just need to plug in the AP and that shack/sleeper has wifi.

[@heckyes]

POE is genius. I was hesitant to go all in on a DIY Home Security system until I learned about POE. Now I love it! RTSP + POE FTW.

[@bridge297forseniors6]

Thank you, good information - well said.... especially the point about smart homes in the future.

[@pkt1213]

Looking forward to this. I have PoE cameras and APs currently with CAT6 in the house we built a few years ago. We are looking at moving or building a new house in the next 6 months and will have to redo our system.

[@LanceThumping]

Now if only there was a standard for co-running fiber and power. It'd be nice to purchase a standardized cable that you could use to power any fiber devices. That'd be as close as you'd be able to get for a fully future proofed home network.

[@brunosalezze]

[@wiziek]

How fiber is supposed to provide power? Youd have to integrate Cooper cable with fiber cable.

[@fredEVOIX]

@@wiziek he meant poe for power along with fiber for data speed a 2-1 I imagine but well fiber can't be bend the same way and poe is way larger so I don't see that being a thing

[@wiziek]

@@fredEVOIX We are using all 4 pairs for PoE that is more hungry.

[@jerkovicbrate]

For home usage fiber is not necessity. With cat.6a, it is possible to get 10G over 100m.

[@MooreRetro]

And here I am looking for PoE items to make a theoretical network for isps to do last mile power backup like for the phone systems of old. Your timing is impeccable. Not realistic but it’s a fun thought experiment.

[@superjuddy]

omg... wtf wendell i've been so fkn curious how this shit worked for about a year.. my brain is gonna cook up some ideas of the usefulness of this and all that.

[@wyattarich]

Look up Raspberry Pi POE hats and get crackin'

[@MrStephantch]

I agree. One of the best channels around. I prefer Level1Techs over it's other KZbin competitors. Honestly, some of these networking solutions may take a little more involvement and time to configure, and deploy. This is much more than the regular consumer is willing to put time into. As for those mesh systems. I don't know if I quite see it the way you do. For example, I use product from a company called TP-Link. It's the first time I'm been exposed to them, and it isn't the best, but quite honestly it surprised me how well it works and it's reliability and price aren't bad. My house is roughly 1,500 sq/ft but in a family of four we have over 25 different devices that fight with my router to see which one get's the best network connection. My router is a very high-end 802.11ac model with five antenna's, but even that struggled and unfortunately 5 ghz AC only works effectively on one-level. Well, graduating to a three-way mesh system solved all my wifi deadspots and now I reliably connect at 100-200 megabits/sec in each room. Very happy about this development. I also make use of a TP-link network hub, and 13 terabyte NAS to store all my data - works very well.

[@TrueThanny]

I used to use a few PoE injectors for my security cameras, but now my NVR has PoE built-in. It does make wiring a lot easier.

[@zszywany6412]

[@vojtasoo]

Love it! Im not probably usual subscriber but it would be great to have more network tutorials/explanations. There so many stuff and its hard to get GOOD basic knowledge.

[@wormchickenwizard]

Wendell, I wish you mentioned the older non IEEE 24v POE standard. The unifi APs you had in the video use that type of POE standard. AFAIK, there aren't any switches that autodetect for 24v devices which most likely fry non 24v POE devices. I've only used 24v injectors so I wouldn't know. Might be worth mentioning in the next video :)

[@brunosalezze]

I'm trying to get rid of my old 24v APs, the new switches dont support it anymore

[@zachicusmaximus5551]

New Unifi's can use 48v as well. I think it was only the non-ac old variants that had to be 24v or wouldn't work. I had a ac pro running for years on a 802.3af switch, and we have a ton of them at work same situation.

@@JoaoSilva-gs5jb Can't it is stapled to the studs. There is no way I will be able to pull new cabling without destroying the house

[@tin2001]

If you can't use it to pull Cat6, then the best use is probably to just poke it all inside the walls and pretend you never saw it. Only other thing I can think of is using it to make a network of 1-wire devices for some sort of home automation or monitoring.

[@JoaoSilva-gs5jb]

Amazing! keep it coming!

[@Brayden421]

Would be nice if you talked about active/passive PoE as that's a trap for young players (maybe that's coming in part 2?) and the second hand market for ex-enterprise PoE switches. I picked up a C3750G-24PS recently which is a pretty good switch capable of 802.3af on every port. Got it for sub $100 AUD at auction.

[@MichaelSanAngelo]

and here I just bought me a used non-poe 24 port switch cause I wanted a fanless design with a bunch of ports and didn't really have any plans for poe devices until I realized I could potentially have a poe powered rpi cluster...

[@nvelders]

Question! Do all standard POE (at, af, bt) switches negotiate for power? Or is power sent down the line wether or not the device wants it? How do I make sure that if I buy a POE switch, it's not going to fry the nic on my PC? You're awesome! Love the channel! I watch when I need a really in depth explanation for something!

[@uwisetube]

hi, would like to know, if the Power Devices rated at Camera only: PoE+ (802.3at Class 4) or 12V DC @ 0.92A: 11W, how much voltage will draw from the POE+ port to the Camera, if it is a standard voltage draw from the POE+ port that is 42v, will it affect the camera or burn.How the power device (camera) will manage to draw its required voltage from the POE+ port.

[@crimsonwolf1982]

Hey, so I've got a 1990 Nissan 240SX, and I want to replace every connector with a quick release version. When i say every connector, I mea every electrical connector, every water hose, every air duct etc... Basically I want to be able to change a head gasket in less then 5 minutes. At the moment I'm focused on electrical connections. Spark Plug wires are already quick release but I was thinking stuff like O2 sensors, anything that involves a wiring harness, I want electrical connections and data connections to be quick release and I'm considering using Ethernet wires for said applications. I would obviously use Cat5 STP with an added extra braided thermal insulating layer. I've got alot to think about but, do you think it could work? I mean, what kind of watts can flow on a Cat5 ethernet cable if I used half the wires for positive and the other half for negative?

[@zalllon]

Is there a switch that can run off PoE+ or ++? I want to add PoE cameras to my shed, but I only have one run of buried Cat6 cable (TRUE cable rated for up to PoE++).

[@doggSMK]

I've been running power over ethernet cables since 2005 😀 just not standard... For big local networks lets say small village we used to run 110 volts (less loss over long distance) to power the switches with adapters ofc. In a house, you could use old PC PSU and just connect the 12V from the PSU to the ethernet cable. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 That's as cheap as it gets. Again, before connecting something it's good to test for power loss.

[@jedwardoo]

Can POE power TV and other devices that could replace electrical outlets altogether? Copper wires seems so outdated now if POE can power almost everything now.

[@alvarojosepabonpacheco4338]

Hi, We got GSM4248UX (Netgear 48ports PoE++) but it retstarts every 2days. Can replace by S3300-52X-POE+ (Netgear 48ports PoE+) while We can't process warranty because machine is in production?? let me know PLS

[@milestailprower]

Beware of Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA) cables! Especially for PoE! "Cat 5e/6/6a/7" CCA cables can be found everywhere, even though the TIA standard for Cat 5e/6/6a/7 does not include CCA! If you ever have a contractor installing wires (and you know PoE may be used), please make sure pure bare copper is stated in the contract for clarity.

[@jerkovicbrate]

Few times have witnessed usage of CCA instead copper as it says in contract.

[@Level1Techs]

This is correct however it's not as much of a pain was it once was. I had horrible pains from cisco poe days. I had a bit in there about this but it turned out I was wrong. Modern poe+/++ does deal w cca better. You still don't want it ofc but the standard has specific things for calculating the voltage drop and dealing with signal loss

[@jerkovicbrate]

@@Level1Techs To be honest, only one time I had problem with CCA, but was pain in the... because I didn't know about CCA. After that in every contract I say pure copper (not CCA, CCS or similar). You can calculate voltage drop using online calculator or just ordinary multimer, and calculate what is the best for your case. My concern is about corrosion at crimping points. If you have high humidity, or high temperature difference along cable run, there is probability of galvanic corrosion over time, because of usage of dissimilar metals. If you are DIY your installation maybe there is OK to go with CCA, but if you pay contractor to install, I think savings not worth risks.

[@Ed-sh8jt]

Wendell, Is it safe to plug a non-POE ethernet cable into the Eugenius switch? does it somehow detect it does not need power?

[@JoriDiculous]

$842.11 + $116.40 shipping + import tax. Think i'll stick with power cables a while more. Would've been neat to hook up one of my spare (fried) modems as a wireless 'bridge' through POE though.

[@andarvidavohits4962]

I had hoped to see a little more in-depth explantion of the standard - which wires cary what and why, active/passive and potential risks - It's dry subjectmatter but I would have enjoyed an explanation a la Wendell. No biggie. PoE is excellent. Looking forward to the mesh network video, I just hope It'll be done with FOSS, I don't care about some Cisco solution. :)

I kinda like PoE, but did anyone ever thought of manufacturing switches with just 15W per port max but on PoE++ type 4 standard? Of cause on the other hand there need to be PoE++ type 4 clients, even if they just draw 10W. It is a real difference in efficiency. Please go ahead in an upcomming video and do the maths. It becomes clear when you think of cameras, WAPs, doorbells, phones and clients like the RPi all connected to 20 to 50 meter cables.

[@tappy8741]

this may be a dumb question, but i just built my PC and use a powerline instead of wifi. Are these technologies related?

PoE is sending DC power over ethernet cables. EoP is sending ethernet over mains power. They're not really related at all, other than ethernet protocols being what are presented to the end devices.

[@lost4468yt]

It's not the power you should be worried about though. Yeah it's 100W, but it's 100W at 48V, so in reality it's only 2A. And that's 2A over 4 twisted pairs, so 2A over 8 wires. Meaning each wire only has to carry 0.25A. It's not going to cause any issues, if the ethernet cable is somehow so bad that it can't handle 0.25A then the connection will just break, the chances of 0.25A starting a fire are very low.

[@jerkovicbrate]

@@lost4468yt Yes, it's 8 wire, but it is only 4 pair, because U need ground wire. At 48V it is 0.5A, and for the long runs can be problem if wiring is not good. Because I recomended only cat.6A. Cat.6 can have 24 awg. wires, but cat.6A is always 23 awg. For exmple. If U use 24 awg wires and have 48V and 0.5A per pair at 100m you will have voltage drop of 17.55% or 8.42V, with 23 awg you will have voltage drop of 13.91% or 6.68V, and with 22 awg, some cat.7 have this, you will have voltage drop of 11.03% or 5.03V. Even with best cat.7 voltage drop is huge at 100m.

[@savirien4266]

This is one reason (among others) why network cables are getting as fat as your thumb. The US NEC limits premises powered communications to 60 volts or less (top end of the POE standards are usually around 57 volts) and amperage based on NEC table 725.144. Which I doubt many IT people are even aware of. When you start bundling these cables in wireways going in and out of IT or server rooms, you hit that ampacity ceiling fairly quickly and when combined with length of run, you're forced to up-size your wire. Sometimes substantially.

I agree, I didn't know about different "Poe standards" thought it was all one-and-the-same until I looked at (for the heck of it) ubiquity APs and seen 802.3, I know wifi is 11, so what's 3?? Question, is the stuff backwards compatible or would I fry lower power requiring devices (or non-poe requiring devices) by wiring to higher power poe switches/injectors? Could you just get a good high power "controller/supply" and use it for all APs, sec cams, Etc... or would that not work? Not to mention the possible need (maybe?!) Of separating APs and cameras, not sure if you'd have to or not, again I know nothing of poe.
