DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Feature Benefit
IEEE 802.3af-2003 Compliant Many currently available in-line PoE
powering options are not standards-based,
thus requiring coordination between each
device’s power needs and the technical
capabilities of the in-line powering unit.
Any port on the PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power
Patch Panel can support the 802.3af-2003
standard or the legacy Cisco powering
scheme.
Full power to all ports With all ports on the panel capable of
delivering full PoE power, there’s no need to
load balance across panels, design special
wiring schemes or leave ports unused in the
panel.
Increased System Reliability The PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel
does not use an internal fan. Fans reduce
the system reliability. In addition, the
eliminated need for separate “midspan”
patch panels increases the network
availability.
Simultaneous support for the Cisco
powering scheme along with the 802.3af-
2003 standard
By supporting both methods on each port,
the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel provides
ultimate flexibility without the need for
separate panels for each powering scheme
and without the need to install separate
power modules. In addition, devices that
don’t require PoE powering may also be
mixed in the same panel.
Power Prioritization In the event of low-power conditions, a NMS,
working in conjunction with the DPoE™
Power Patch Panels, can use the pre-
established port priorities to ensure mission-
critical ports on the network of panels
continue to receive PoE power as long as
possible.
Easier Local Management Multi-colored LEDs on the DPoE™ Power
Patch Panel allow technicians to instantly
know the status of each port. Additional
LEDs reflect management and panel status.
Identification labels on the front and rear of
the system allow the technician to note the
panel number, the port number and wiring
scheme information for both the Ethernet
and PoE sides of the panel.
Easier Remote Management The optional EM allows network operators to
easily view and manage a network of
DPoE™ Power Patch Panels using industry-
standard Simplified Network Management
Protocol (SNMP).
