A field technician is installing a new IP-based security camera in a remote warehouse corner. The camera requires Power over Ethernet (PoE) to operate, but the existing network switch supplying the Ethernet drop does not support PoE functionality. Budget constraints prevent replacing or adding a new PoE-capable switch. Which network hardware device should the technician install inline between the switch port and the camera to provide the necessary electrical power over the Category 6 cabling?
- PoE injectorCevap
- BLayer 3 router
- CDHCP server appliance
- DMedia converter
Cevap
The correct device is a PoE injector, which injects electrical power onto a standard Ethernet cable run from a non-PoE network switch.
A PoE injector (also called a midspan device) is placed inline between a non-PoE switch port and a PoE-enabled device like an IP camera. It accepts a data connection from the switch, adds electrical power using its own power source, and transmits both data and power over the Ethernet cable to the remote endpoint.
