Is Your Structured Cabling Power
Over Ethernet Compliant?
KRONE, Exceeding International Standards, Confirms
Power over Ethernet Compliance of Products
KRONE Australia is proud to advise all Premis
NET
®
solutions are fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af
standard for DTE power over structured cabling
ratified on 12th June 2003.
As a member of the ISO/IEC, CENELEC and TIA
working groups specifying the structured cabling
channel and component requirements that support
the 802.3af standard, KRONE was able to ensure all
products were fully compliant as the IEEE and
cabling standards progressed.
“KRONE have been able to stay ahead of the
game due to our commitment to being fully
involved in the international standards setting
process”, commented Peter Meijer, KRONE
Australia’s Technical Training Manager & Industry
Liaison.
Known as 802.3af, DTE Power (data terminal
equipment) and Power over Ethernet (PoE), the new
standard covers the distribution of low voltage
power through the structured cabling system to
devices such as IP telephones, wireless access
points, security cameras and door entry/access
control systems and a whole host of new

applications yet to be implemented.
The ratified standard clears up the confusion over
a number of proprietary implementations. Until
now PoE had been a niche product with different
pin-outs and voltages ranging from 6v to 48v. These
new standards define the pin outs, and harmonise
the power requirements for all systems.
Each of KRONE’s high-quality products have been
designed for currents and voltages well in excess of
those specified. KRONE’s Premis
NET
solutions
contain compliant cables, jacks, patch panels, patch
cords and couplers.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is said to be the next
big thing in structured cabling. With the power
injected at the active equipment it can do away
with thousands of wall transformers and kilometres
of messy power extension leads.
For Voice over IP (VoIP) deployment, PoE does
away with the need for a mains power socket next
to each and every telephone. The telephones no
longer need to go dead if there is an electrical
outage, as DTE power can be backed up by the
central communications room UPS system.
