Advantages of GigE NICs with PoE+ function

  • One-cable solution: Data and power transmission via one cable, saving time and cabling effort during installation

  • Stable & safe power supply: PoE+ designed for use in networks to ensure continuous and uninterrupted performance of the devices

  • Cost effectiveness: Fewer cables and power supplies, resulting in lower costs and less maintenance

  • Increased flexibility: Integrate industrial cameras in places that were previously inaccessible due to a lack of power sources


NICs with PoE+ function have status LEDs that indicate which channel is supplying PoE power.

Specifications of the PoE+ function

  • Maximum PoE output power of 30W per port

  • Maximum PoE performance via the PCIe slot, an additional external power source can be connected if the PCIe power supply is insufficient

  • Separate status LED for clear identification of which channel(s) are supplying PoE power
