The 3Com® Power over Ethernet Single-Port Midspan Solution can power a network jack over standard Category 5 or 5e Ethernet cabling. This 48-volt inline power source installs right in the switch closet, eliminating an exposed power supply and extra wiring at the workspace. Installing Power over Ethernet helps save time and money because it's less vulnerable to damage or tampering than a local power supply.

• Transforms standard AC power into low-voltage DC that runs over your existing LAN cabling
• Enables a network jack to forward power to a P802.3af (draft)-compliant device
• Network jacks can also be powered with 3Com Ethernet Power Products (3C10220, 3C10222) for 3Com NBX® telephones
