“Phihong now has Midspan power solutions that address 3 different power levels:

IEEE802.3af (15.4W/port)
The current IEEE802.3af standard for Power-over-Ethernet, was formally approved in 2003, defining PoE applications requiring up to 12.95W of power. With this specification, users were no longer locked into one brand of equipment and experienced fewer equipment problems and hazardous situations caused by non-compliant products. The standard facilitates interoperability, ensures power application only where appropriate, and mandates safety precautions and protection against faults in an installation. Select IEEE802.3af Models

IEEE802.3at PoE Plus (30W-36W/port)
With the expansion of PoE applications, the need for higher power has also grown. IEEE organized a task force, of which Phihong is a member, to evaluate these needs and define a new standard. IEEE802.3at, (PoE Plus) presently allows for 30W/port of power and higher. Although the specification will not be ratified until 2009, Phihong has developed many products that deliver high-power PoE, benefiting applications such as wireless multi-radio access points, Pan Tilt Zoom security cameras, and IP phones with streaming video displays. Select PoE Plus models

Ultra PoE (60-80W/port)
Even before the PoE Plus standard is approved, users are demanding applications that require more than 30W of power per port, such as computer workstations, LCD display panels, and WAP arrays. Other emerging applications, including emergency lighting, security system sensors, and even medical monitoring, will greatly benefit from combining data and centralized backup power. Phihong’s Ultra PoE products can deliver 80W per port or higher with the same protection and safety precautions as standard PoE. Select Ultra PoE models
