damaged if connected to a standard PoE port. Note that a power injector requires a connection to AC power, and may be connected to a battery backed uninterruptable power supply (UPS). Figure 1: PoE Cabling Plan Sites that are already equipped with PoE enabled network equipment are most likely already compatible with the OnTime clock. - Page 11 Sites that are not currently equipped with PoE enabled network equipment are typically best served by Midspan Power Injectors. The Midspan Power Injector is a multi-port rack mounted device that looks a lot like an Ethernet Switch. Typically it is installed in the rack near the existing Ethernet switch, and any ports that require PoE service are routed through the Midspan Power Injector.
