Features and Benefits
The following table highlights some of the capabilities of the DPoE™ Power Patch Panel along with the
tangible benefit to the network operator.
DPoE™ Power Patch Panel Feature Benefit
Powers up to 24 devices from a
centralized location
By using PoE, a network operator can more
cost-effectively power Ethernet devices up to
100 m (328 ft.) from the PANDUIT® DPoE™
Power Patch Panel. Powering from a
centralized location eliminates the need to
power each device separately, eliminates the
need for separate Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) for critical devices, and allows
centralized power management by the
network operator.
Combining PoE Power with patch panel
functionality
Other vendors use a separate “Power Hub”
architecture, which doesn’t replace the need
for additional non-powered patch panels.
PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel
combines these two functions into a 1 RU-
high package. This reduces needed rack
space by at least 50% while providing easier
installation without the need for patch cords
between the Power Hub and a non-powered
patch panel.
