WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POE AND POE+?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a networking feature defined by the IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and
802.3at (PoE+) standards. PoE lets Ethernet cables supply power to network devices over
the existing data connection.
PoE-capable devices can be power sourcing equipment (PSE), powered devices (PDs), or
sometimes both. The device that transmits power is a PSE, while the device that is powered
is a PD. Most PSEs are either network switches or PoE injectors intended for use with
non-PoE switches. Common examples of PDs include VoIP phones, wireless access points,
and IP cameras.
PoE+, the update to PoE, is the IEEE 802.3at standard. The major difference between
802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) is that PoE+ PSEs can provide almost twice as much power
over a single Ethernet cable. Amcrest cameras with PoE+ compatibility, like our larger speed
dome cameras, can only be powered by using a PoE+ PSE such as a PoE+ switch or PoE+
injector or with the included power supply. PoE+ PSEs can supply power to both PoE and
PoE+ PDs, but PoE PSEs can only supply power to PoE PDs. PoE+ PDs require more power
than PoE PSEs can provide.
Ethernet, PoE, and PoE+ restrict cable distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) between
network ports. Anything exceeding this limit may result in signal degradation or insufficient
power to the PD. In such cases, an Ethernet and PoE extender may be recommended. For
