?What is the primary advantage of using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology in network installations

The primary advantage of using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology is that it allows both data and electrical power to be delivered over a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for network devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, simplifying installation and reducing the overall cost of deploying and managing a network.

?What are the key PoE standards, and how do they differ in terms of power delivery

The key PoE standards are IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt. The IEEE 802.3af standard, also known as PoE, provides up to 15.4 watts of power per port. IEEE 802.3at, known as PoE+, offers up to 30 watts per port, allowing for more power-hungry devices. The IEEE 802.3bt standard, also called 4PPoE, can deliver up to 60 watts (Type 3) or 100 watts (Type 4) per port, supporting even more demanding devices and applications such as high-end IP cameras, LED lighting, and network devices that require significant power.
