Broadcom has entered the power over Ethernet market with two highly integrated power sourcing equipment controllers.

Broadcom Corp has announced its first power over Ethernet (PoE) products featuring two highly integrated power sourcing equipment (PSE) controllers The new four-port PoE controllers provide power to networked devices in enterprise, small- to medium-sised business (SMB) or residential environments using the Ethernet cable infrastructure that is already in place for transferring voice, video and data

Broadcom PoE solutions consolidate triple-play capabilities with power across a standard Ethernet infrastructure to simplify network designs, reduce maintenance and, in turn, save time, cost and resources.

Power over Ethernet is a LAN technology that provides DC power over twisted pair Ethernet cables to powered devices (PDs) within enterprise, SMB or home networks.

Originally developed to power IP telephones, the approved IEEE802.3af standard enables scalable and manageable delivery of 15W to voice over IP (VoIP) and wireless access points in locations where AC power outlets are absent or inconvenient.
