PoE Technology (PoETec) Consortium
Formed in 2005, the PoETec Consortium was created to enhance the growth of the Power over Ethernet (PoE) marketplace.
A key component to enhancing PoE adoption is by providing a Power Source Equipment (PSE) connector that integrates PoE controllers and communication circuitry. A defined physical, electrical and communication interface ensure standardization and simplified PSE PoE adoption. Performance requirements are defined to ensure functionality at minimum operating conditions.
The new PoETec V2.0 is designed to support IEEE802.3at with backwards compatibility to IEEE802.3af and is available for download here
