Systems & Sub-systems
Microsemi PoE Systems offer industry leading Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions for any PoE situation. With PowerDsine technology, our systems enable delivery of up to 95 watts of flexible and reliable PoE to WLAN access points, VoIP phones, IP cameras, thin/zero clients and other Ethernet devices. As well as being innovators of PoE systems, the PowerDsine brand is an innovator and thought leader in PoE technology and is a major source of 802.3af, 802.3at and HDBaseT standards. Microsemi is the world’s leading source of timing and synchronization systems, keeping network, operations and applications running smoothly across all industries. The solutions offered by the company generate, distribute and apply precise time for the communications, aerospace/defense, IT infrastructure and metrology industries. Microsemi’s timing and synchronization systems support today’s precise timing standards, including GPS-based timing, IEEE 1588 (PTP), Networks Protocol (NTP), Synchronous Ethernet and DCSIS(R) timing.
PoE  Systems from Microsemi
PoE is a standard that enables Ethernet network devices to receive power over CAT-5 or better Ethernet cable instead of through power outlets. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) approved the first PoE standard, 802.3af, which supports up to 15.4 watts of power, in 2003; the 802.3at standard, also called PoE Plus, came later and now supports up to 60 watts. Depending on the manufacturer, some PoE gear also delivers up to 95 watts. To get an idea of the range of devices, an IP phone can consume less than 15.4 watts, while some cameras and access points require more than 30 watts, making them candidates for 802.3at-based equipment. PoE is deployed when USB is unsuitable because it can’t provide enough power, or where AC power is inconvenient because a wall jack sits too far way, or it’s too expensive because the cost of installing more wall jacks exceeds the cost of deploying PoE or it’s unfeasible because there may be no wall jacks at all. 
Microsemi is the leading innovator and supplier of PoE ICs and midspans. Microsemi’s extensive PoE product portfolio includes solutions for both indoor and outdoor installations. The main markets where PoE Midspans are used is with WLAN Access Points, IP Security such as IP cameras and Access control and IP phones. The main benefit for using PoE is the ability to provide power to an Ethernet application with less cabling that reduces overall cost and more importantly where providing power to the application is not easy due to the placement of the powered device.
