Remote powering, such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), is a popular method of dc power delivery using communications cabling, with more than 100 million nodes installed around the globe. Power over Ethernet has evolved—from initially sourcing up to 15 watts at the power source equipment (PSE) as specified in IEEE Std. 802.3af-2003, increasing to up to 30 watts in IEEE Std 802.3at-2009, and now increasing further by IEEE 802.3bt standard to source up to 90 watts at the PSE. It is important to note that all PoE powering levels and classifications comply with the SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) 60 volts and LPS (Limited Power Source) 100 VA (watts) requirements in IEC 60950-1, making PoE a low-risk, reliable, and cost-effective application for delivering power over the same balanced twisted-pair cabling used for data communications.
