Save installation time and money with PoE. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Intellinet Network Solutions 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Rackmount PoE+ Switch (560993) is designed to pass both data and electrical power to a number of PoE-compatible devices via standard Cat5e or Cat6 network cables. Equipped with 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports this switch can power wireless LAN access points and bridges VoIP phones IP video cameras and more while delivering network speeds of up to 1000 Mbps. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Power over Ethernet 802.3at &lt;br /&gt;The Intellinet Network Solutions 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Switch supports the IEEE 802.3at protocol and is designed to inject up to 30 watts of power per port*. IEEE802.3af- or IEEE802.3at-compliant devices attached to the switch require no additional power thus eliminating the time and expense of electrical rewiring and minimising the unsightly clutter caused by power supplies and adapters in awkward places such as ceilings and walls. Any mix of PoE and non-PoE devices is supported and thanks to its short-circuit overload and high-voltage protection function your equipment is well-protected. For devices that are not 802.3at/af compliant (legacy wireless access points or network cameras) we suggest the use of an Intellinet Network Solutions PoE/PoE+ Splitter. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Extreme Throughput &lt;br /&gt;With a backplane speed of 32 Gbps there is plenty of performance available for your computers servers and other networking devices. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;* Total PoE budget for this switch is 220 watts.
