Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is defined by two standards:
- IEEE 802.3af
- IEEE 802.3at
The first one, 802.3af, is the first published standard, and the second one, 802.3at, also known as PoE+ or PoE plus, is an evolution of the first which provides more power.
On the other hand, MikroTik does not follow those standards even if it says its devices are PoE capable. The input voltage range is different and thus, it offers some additional products to transform any standard PoE source into a compatible input.
The following table describes the two IEEE standards and some MikroTik PoE speficifations:
