The Power Behind Wireless Communications

Power-over-Ethernet

Power-over-Ethernet equipment
All Hopling Technologies nodes (mesh routers), access points, access clients, gateways, multi-client bridges can be powered using Power-over-Ethernet IEEE 802.3af. Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) eliminates the need to run separate 110/220 VAC power cables to the equipment that is installed at rooftops, or other places where VAC power is not readily available.

With the Power-over-Ethernet system you only need to have one single CAT5 Ethernet cable that carries both power and data to each device. This allows greater flexibility in the locating of equipment and network devices and significantly decreasing installation costs in many cases. When standard CAT5 Ethernet cable is used the maximum cable length between the power supply and a Hopling Technologies device can be 100 meters.

Power-over-Ethernet begins with a CAT5 "Inserter" that inserts a DC Voltage onto the CAT5 cable. The Inserter is typically installed in the "wiring closet" near the Ethernet switch or hub.

All Hopling Technologies nodes (mesh routers), access points, gateways, multi-client bridges accept the injected DC power directly from the CAT5 cable through their RJ45 jack. These devices are considered to be "PoE-Compatible" or "Active Ethernet Compatible".
