About passive POE, active POE, POE+ & POE++

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network cables to carry electrical power along with data, enabling powered devices to receive power and data from a single Ethernet cable. PoE is commonly used for powering IP phones, wireless access points, and network cameras, among other devices.

There are different types of PoE, including Passive PoE, Active PoE, PoE+, and PoE++. Here's a brief overview of each type:

  1. Passive PoE: In Passive PoE, power is simply applied to the Ethernet cable, regardless of whether a device is connected or not. The power level is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Passive PoE is often used for non-standard applications and can be less reliable than other types of PoE.

  2. Active PoE: Active PoE uses negotiation between the device and the power source to determine the required power level. This allows for more precise power delivery and can help prevent damage to devices that cannot handle higher power levels.

  3. PoE+: PoE+ (also known as IEEE 802.3at) provides up to 30 watts of power per port, which is more than the 15.4 watts provided by standard PoE. This allows for powering devices that require more power, such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras and video phones.

  4. PoE++: PoE++ (also known as IEEE 802.3bt) is the latest PoE standard and provides up to 90 watts of power per port. This is enough to power devices such as high-end IP cameras, video conferencing systems, and industrial equipment.

In summary, while Passive PoE is the simplest and least expensive option, it can be less reliable than Active PoE, which offers better power management and device protection. PoE+ and PoE++ provide higher power levels and are suitable for more demanding applications, but require a PoE+ or PoE++ compatible switch or injector.

Facts to Consider when purchasing a Hardware Firewall

  When buying a hardware firewall, there are several factors you should consider. Here is a checklist of important things to consider: Performance: Determine the required throughput and session capacity to meet the needs of your network. Security features: Look for features such as intrusion detection and prevention, VPN support, content filtering, anti-virus, anti-spam, and application control. Ease of use: Make sure the firewall has a user-friendly interface for easy configuration and management. Scalability: Consider the ability to add or upgrade hardware components to accommodate future growth. Integration: Determine how well the firewall integrates with your existing network and security infrastructure. Support: Look for a vendor with a good reputation for providing timely and effective support. Price: Evaluate the total cost of ownership, including hardware, licensing, and ongoing maintenance and support costs. Compliance: Check if the firewall meets any regulatory or complia...
