Powering PoE devices

PoE devices can often be powered via an Ethernet connection (PoE) OR via a dedicated power cable.

NEVER connect a PoE device’s dedicated power cable when it is being supplied PoE, unless the device is specifically designed to be connected to multiple power sources, as confirmed by the device’s instruction documents.

When the PoE device’s dedicated power cable is not connected, any bare-end wire connections must be separately covered with insulation.
