STC-POE Series - Category 5 and 6 Power-over-Ethernet Applications
The SolaHD STC Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Series is designed to work on Category 5 PoE transmission lines as well as Category 6 applications. They feature female to female RJ-45 connection options for ease of installation.
PoE is a technology for wired Ethernet LANs (Local Area Networks) that allows the electrical current to be carried by the data cables rather than power cords. This minimizes the number of wires that must be strung in order to install the network. The result is lower cost, less downtime, easier maintenance and greater installation flexibility than with traditional wiring.
PoE allows users to power devices over Ethernet cabling. Power and networking is provided over a single cable. PoE has tremendous advantages in industrial applications. The ease of combining signal and power in a single Ethernet cable connection is contributing to the already rapid evolution of Ethernet-based industrial control systems. Category 5e and Category 6 commonly known as Cat5e and Cat6 are the most widely used Ethernet connectivity methods on the market today. Cat5e and Cat6 are defined in ANSI/TIA/EIA 568-B standard for Unshielded Twisted Pair Cabling.
The STC PoE Series is ideally suited to protect expensive equipment and critical communication/data transfer from internally generated transients and noise.
