Belden’s Digital Electricity Cables reach distances and wattages that PoE can’t

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Belden’s Digital Electricity Cables are available in copper for power-only applications, and in hybrid copper/fiber constructions to transmit power and data over long distances in a single cable run.
The transmit up to 20 times more power or 20 times more distance than PoE: up to 2,000W or up to 2km reach in indoor and outdoor applications. Digital Electricity Cables support Internet of Things (IoT) and convergence in venues such as airport terminals, convention centers, hospitals, high-rise hotels, stadiums and office towers.

Eliminating the blame game: How to test and certify your network for IoT readiness

By on • ( Leave a comment )

Many Internet of Things (IoT) devices like multisensor cameras, digital lighting, HVAC systems and badge scanners now run off Power over Ethernet (PoE). While this makes those devices easier to install, it’s turning the network into a power distribution center. When PoE devices do not work as intended, the cabling contractor is often blamed for it, even though there are many possible causes for this problem. It’s important for cabling contractors to test for PoE load while installing cables to avoid this blame game among themselves, the network team, and the IoT device installers.

PoE Pro Tester eliminates guesswork

The new PoE Pro eliminates guesswork when installing, maintaining and troubleshooting networks where PoE is deployed. Previously technicians had to understand all the various standards, device power outputs and cable lengths to be sure a device will operate successfully. The PoE Pro identifies the Class of the PoE source and power available to a PoE device regardless of cable length, cable quality or other factors.
