PoE Hub – Power over Ethernet Hub

So what is a PoE Hub? Well, the use of a PoE Injector can be considered to be Inline Power over Ethernet.
Another way to implement PoE is usually to deploy a “power hub” in between the source signal and the access points. This rendering follows the very same principle as the inline PoE technique, with the exception that the hub feasibly facilitates several entry points instead of only one. Numerous Ethernet wires run out of the switch straight into the power hub, that links right to a power wall socket. Other ethernet cables, which are carrying power, then run out from the other side of the hub to numerous access points..
Power over Ethernet Hubs are a good thing to use when you are working on existing switches within a large scale installation, like incorporating a wireless LAN to an existing wired Ethernet network. PoE hubs give an installer the ability to run power to multiple access points while using only one power outlet, saving time and preventing the huge headache caused by dealing with too many wires (and electricians). PoE hubs can each usually support up to twelve access points.
