Power over Ethernet (PoE) has been standardized with IEEE standard 802.3af describing Ethernet power-sourcing equipment and powered terminals.
This specification describes delivering 48 volts of DC power over unshielded twisted-pair wiring.
Nowadays, more and more Industrial applications are starting to benefit from electrical power sent over Ethernet cables.
This avoids a separate power cord for things like internet phones and wireless access points.
The so-called PoE injects power into an Ethernet cable at the source and receives that power at the destination.
Both the injector and receiver are embedded into the device.
