What This Solves
Expanding IP Surveillance Systems
Businesses need to deploy additional IP security cameras in new areas of their facility but lack available power outlets or network ports. This card provides four dedicated Gigabit PoE+ ports, enabling direct power and data connectivity for new cameras from a central server.
Retail locations, warehouse operations, office buildings, campus security teams
Streamlining VoIP Phone Deployments
Organizations upgrading to a Voice over IP (VoIP) phone system require a reliable way to power and connect multiple handsets without extensive electrical wiring. The card delivers 25.5W of PoE+ power per port, simplifying the deployment of desk phones and reducing cable clutter in office environments.
Small to mid-sized offices, call centers, legal practices, healthcare clinics
Centralized Power for Wireless Access Points
To extend wireless coverage, businesses often install new wireless access points (WAPs) in various locations, which traditionally require both network and power cables. This card allows WAPs to draw power directly from the server via Ethernet, enabling flexible placement and reducing the need for local power adapters.
Educational institutions, hospitality venues, distributed branch offices, manufacturing facilities
