ADTRAN’s popular NetVanta 1000 Series integrated switch-routers and managed Ethernet switches are now available in Power over Ethernet versions. Using 802.3af, these 24-port Layer 2 switches can equip networks with everything needed for powering IP phones today or for power requirements for future migration to Voice over IP (VoIP). PoE is ideal for supporting wireless access points and other 802.3af powered devices. ADTRAN switches use the data pair to provide data and power to networked LAN devices with support for
up to 15.4 watts per Ethernet port. Standards-based and designed with the reliability of an ADTRAN-engineered powering solution, these products provide a lower-cost future-proof switching solution that eliminates the need for extra in-house wiring to accommodate newly deployed LAN-powered devices.
