PoE vs Non-PoE Connections

Switch/Routers use Power over Ethernet (PoE)
or NON-PoE connections. PoE is a connection
which passes electrical power along with data.
Use the PoE for Ethernet cables when the
component being hooked into the system does
not have its own power supply. IP cameras are
such devices.
