AETHERNET/POE Port

Connects to a PC or a network via a hub with a 10 BASE-T/100 BASETX cable attached RJ-45 connector.

Note:

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that integrates power into a standard LAN infrastructure. It enables power to be provided to the network device, such as a network camera, using the same cable as that used for network connection. It eliminates the need for power outlets at the device locations and enables easier application of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).
