Power management features and integration Power over Ethernet
avaya ers 5500 switch 48 power on ethernet ports
advocates of poe ethernet alliance expect poe become global long term dc power cabling standard , replace multiplicity of individual ac adapters, cannot centrally managed.
critics of approach argue poe inherently less efficient ac power due lower voltage, , made worse thin conductors of ethernet. typical 48-port ethernet switch has 50 w 80 w power supply allocated ethernet switch electronics. on , above this, requires typically 740 w (for 802.3af) 1480 w (for 802.3at) power supply allocation poe ports, permitting maximum draw on each. however, central supply replaces several dedicated ac circuits, transformers , inverters, power loss of long thin dc cable can justifiable. in many case, power can introduced device directly ac power available.
switch power features
the switches contain active , smart , or managed power management features reduce ac draw of devices involved.
multi-protocol teaming standards (g.9960, g.hn, , ieee p1905) , handoff standards (ieee 802.21) rely on simulating ethernet features in other media.
by late 2011, of energy management features proprietary. advertising power-over-ethernet devices cites green features including less packaging , improvements on previous models.
integrating eee , poe
after integration ieee 802.3az energy-efficient ethernet (eee) standard, energy management capabilities of combined standard expected good. pre-standard integrations of eee , poe (such marvell s eepoe outlined in may 2011 white paper) claim achieve savings upwards of 3 w per link, extremely significant across tens of millions of new links shipped each year. these losses significant higher power devices come online. marvell claims that:
evolution of poe low power source (up 12.95 w per port) 1 devices of 25.5 w, direct current (dc) power losses on ethernet cables increased exponentially. approximately 4.5 w/port of power wasted on cat5, cat5e, cat6 or cat6a cable...after 100 m... eee typically saves no more 1 w per link, addressing 4.5 w per link loss poe transmission inefficiency provide more incremental savings. new energy-efficient poe (eepoe) technology can increase efficiency 94% while transmitting on same 25 ohm cable, powering ieee 802.3at-compliant devices in synchronous 4-pairs. when utilizing synchronous 4-pairs, powered devices fed using available wires. example, on 24-port ieee 802.3at-2009 type 2 system (delivering 25.5 w per port), more 50 w saved.
