Power over Ethernet: Cabling Connectivity For VoIP

Power over Ethernet: Cabling Connectivity For VoIP!
Adhering to the growing requirement of efficient communication technology that can
accelerate productivity and enhance the information transmission system of the organization,
VOIP technology has transformed the business realm with its diverse benefits. Covering all
the dimensions of an efficient IT infrastructure and providing cost-effective communication
solution to ever-evolving corporate realm, VoIP phone system has reinforced its hold in the
business world via its decentralized intranet network. The potentiality of VoIP phone system
is sprouted from its seamless establishment of the connection and internet-centric
information transmission.
PoE: An Overview
Converting analog signals into digital and transferring the data via internet packets, VoIP
system has brought significant transformation in the communication infrastructure. Being an
internet protocol oriented phone system, VoIP offers enhanced call quality and secure
connection to its users. Although it doesn't require any additional cables or wire to establish
the connectivity, to start the functionality of a pre-configured business VoIP, a stable Power
over Ethernet (PoE) is used for the supply of electricity. It is basically a technology used to
integrate data, voice, and power over standard Ethernet infrastructure via Cat 5 cables. PoE
supplies uninterrupted power supply to VoIP phone system and ensures a stable connectivity
in the system.
Let's delve into some of the key benefits of PoE technology in VoIP phone system.
Lower Installation Costs
By integrating PoE into the VoIP infrastructure, businesses can save huge amount electric
wiring costs that include, AC outlets costs, and electrician fees. PoE supplies safe and stable
power to the VoIP phone system over the existing standard Ethernet wires that further avoid

the hassles of disturbing the infrastructure every now and then to ensure better and safe
connectivity.
Remote Scheduling
SNMP Remote Power Management, a crucial and efficient feature of PoE integrated VoIP
system is that it allows users to schedule uptime and downtime for all the powered devices.
Such efficient power consumption management and seamless control of the device make the
communication infrastructure simpler and reliable than ever.
Increased Reliability
By using PoE, all the VoIP devices are connected to an uninterruptible power supply via
Ethernet cable, that further increases the power reliability and reduces the chances of data
loss. Additionally, the redundant power supply ensures a reliable connection over VoIP
network along with increased network security.
All-in-one Device Cabling
With the integration of Power over Ethernet, all the VoIP devices require a single cable to
establish power as well as internet connectivity that means the communication infrastructure
will no longer be strangled with cables. Accessibility is another powerful feature of all-in-one
device cabling that enables users to access any device connected to PoE from any part of the
organization.
Power over Ethernet has been known as a time saving and cost efficient technology that helps
in installing separate power cabling for VoIP and ensure a stable connectivity in the IT
infrastructure. Businesses often overlook the integration of PoE in the VoIP phone system and
witness several detrimental results such as incompatibility among the devices, degradation
of the intranet network, decreased network speed, etc. Therefore, it is imperative to include
this reformational technology into the system to ensure efficient data communication
performance in the organization.
