Cable used for the power supply
●
Variant 1 (redundant wires)
In Fast Ethernet, the wire pairs 1, 2 and 3, 6 are used to transfer data. Pairs 4, 5 and 7, 8
are then used to supply power. If there are only four wires, the voltage is modulated onto
wires 1, 2 and 3, 6 (see variant 2). This alternative is suitable for a data transmission rate
of 10/100 Mbps. This type of power supply is not suitable for 1 Gbps because with gigabit
Ethernet, all 8 wires are used for the data transmission.
●
Variant 2 (phantom power)
With phantom power, the power is supplied over the pairs that are used for data transfer,
in other words, all eight (1 Gbps) or four (10/100 Mbps) wires are used both for the data
transfer and the power supply.
Whether a device supports variant 1 and variant 2 or only variant 2 can be found in the
operating instructions of the relevant device.
A PoE-compliant switch can supply the end device either using:
● Variant 1 or
● Variant 2 or
● Variant 1 and variant 2.
With endspan, the power is supplied via a switch that can reach a device over an Ethernet
cable. The switch must be capable of PoE, for example a SCALANCE X108PoE,
SCALANCE X308-2M POE, SCALANCE XR552-12M.
Midspan is used when the switch is not PoE-compliant. The power is supplied by an
additional device between the switch and end device. In this case, only data rates of 10/100
Mbps can be achieved because the power is supplied on redundant wires.
A Siemens power insert can also be used as the interface for the power input. Since a power
insert supports a power supply of 24 VDC, it does not conform with 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at.
The following restrictions relating to the use of power inserts should be noted:
Operate the power insert only when the following conditions apply:
• with extra low voltages SELV, PELV complying with IEC 60364-4-41
• in USA/CAN with power supplies complying with NEC class 2
• in USA/CAN, the cabling must meet the requirements of NEC/CEC
• Power load maximum 0.5 A.
