Installing the Power over Ethernet
Midspan
3.1
Background Information
As shown in Figure 3-1, the Midspan is connected in series with an
Ethernet switch/hub. The data outputs from the switch are connected to
the Midspan. The Midspan delivers power over the spare twisted pairs
(pins 7/8 and pins 4/5) of the Category 5 cabling, without degrading the
quality of data. Most installations require the Midspan to be rack mounted
as described below.
