D Link POWER OVER ETHERNET KIT

The DWL P200 Power Over Ethernet PoE adapter is designed to supplyoperational power to surveillance cameras and wireless LAN devices such asaccess points, bridges and routers. It enables power current to travel onthe Ethernet network cable, thus eliminating the need to directly connect apower supply to the wireless LAN device. The DWL P200 supports both 5VDC and12VDC power requirements. Power requirement can be selected through a DIPswitch.Facilitates InstallationThe Power Over Ethernet allows you to install the wireless LAN device andsurveillance camera at places such as on a building rooftop, on or near aceiling, or other difficult places where power is not easily accessible. Theidea is increase the usefulness of your camera and wireless LAN to provideconnectivity to users regardless of their proximity to a power outlet or anetwork cable.Data and DC Power Transmission on the Same Network CableOn a standard UTP Category 5 cable, only two pairs pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 areused for Ethernet data transfer. Power Over Ethernet is designed to takeadvantage of the unused pins of the remaining pair of cable wires.Consequently, a single Category 5 cable will now carry both Ethernet dataand DC power. The idea is to supply the remote end with power and therequirements of Ethernet connectivity via a single Cat 5 cable.Base Unit and Terminal UnitThe DWL P200 includes a base unit and a terminal unit. At one end, the baseunit inserts DC voltage into the unused wires pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 of thenetwork cable. At the other end, the terminal unit splits the data and DCpower apart. Data signals continue to travel on remaining network cables,while DC power is fed into the power adapter, which connects to an AC poweroutlet.
