that supports Ethernet electrical interface. The network device
supporting PoE function such as switch and router can provide

supply. It is the technology that transfers power through 10 BaseT
and 100 Base-TX. When the current Ethernet Cat.5 infrastructure
doesn't change, data signal can be transmitted to the terminals
based on IP (such as IP phone, AP and network camera and DC

normal operation to decrease the cost greatly.
