The Tolly Group & Sifos Technologies; PSE Testing Comparison

Tolley Group, 18th May 2007

The increasing use of PD equipment such as VoIP and wireless access points has to assume that the selected Power Sourcing Equipment works to the 802.3af standard. Recent test by Sifos Technologies shows that you have to look deeper into a PSE rather than just the data sheet.

The Tolly Group worked closely with Sifos Technologies to study two different PSE's extensively and to report on observed ranges in performance in categories such as Static Power Delivery, Transient Power Delivery, Safety, Power Management Behaviors, and Interoperability Characteristics. Approximately 50 different parameters were analyzed with many surprising results.

Pointer Power over Ethernet - The Reality of Designing a Powered Device

Tony Morgan, Senior Applications Engineer, Silver Telecom. 10th July 2006

There have been many technical articles, white papers and product application notes that explain the theory on how to make a powered device. They give an overview of the IEEE 802.3af standard for Power over Ethernet and explain how to extract the power from the CAT5e cable. The following is a practical guide to help take that information and to design a PoE enabled powered device.

Power over Ethernet – The Last Frontier in Industrial Communications Standards

By: Frank Madren, President, GarrettCom, Inc. 26th May 2006

Perhaps the final frontier in the battle for dominance in industrial communications between field buses and Ethernet, is the ability to transmit power and data across the same wire. Shared use of cabling reduces costs, and in some applications, is the only viable solution for extending power to the very edge of an industrial operation.
