Three of them have been standardized by the <a href="/wiki/Institute_of_Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineers_(IEEE)" class="mw-redirect" title="Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)">Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)</a> standard <a href="/wiki/IEEE_802.3" title="IEEE 802.3">IEEE 802.3</a> since 2003. </p><p>The three techniques are: </p> <ul><li><i>alternative A</i>, which uses the same two of the four <a href="/wiki/Balanced_line" title="Balanced line">signal pairs</a> that <a href="/wiki/10BASE-T" class="mw-redirect" title="10BASE-T">10BASE-T</a> and <a href="/wiki/100BASE-TX" class="mw-redirect" title="100BASE-TX">100BASE-TX</a> use for data in typical <a href="/wiki/Cat_5" class="mw-redirect" title="Cat 5">Cat 5</a> cabling.</li> <li><i>alternative B</i>, which separates the data and the power conductors for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX, making troubleshooting easier.</li> <li><i>4PPoE</i>, which uses all four twisted pairs in parallel, increasing the achievable power.</li></ul> <p>Alternative A transmits power on the same wires as data for 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet variants. This is similar to the <a href="/wiki/Phantom_power" title="Phantom power">phantom power</a> technique commonly used for powering condenser microphones. Power is transmitted on the data conductors by applying a common voltage to each pair. Because twisted-pair Ethernet uses <a href="/wiki/Differential_signaling" class="mw-redirect" title="Differential signaling">differential signaling</a>, this does not interfere with <a href="/wiki/Data_transmission" class="mw-redirect" title="Data transmission">data transmission</a>. The common-mode voltage is easily extracted using the <a href="/wiki/Center_tap" title="Center tap">center tap</a> of the standard Ethernet <a href="/wiki/Pulse_transformer" class="mw-redirect" title="Pulse transformer">pulse transformer</a>. For <a href="/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet" title="Gigabit Ethernet">Gigabit Ethernet</a> and faster, both alternatives A and B transmit power on wire pairs also used for data since all four pairs are used for data transmission at these speeds. </p><p><b>4PPoE</b> provides power using all four pairs of a twisted-pair cable. This enables higher power for applications like <a href="/wiki/Pan%E2%80%93tilt%E2%80%93zoom_camera" title="Pan–tilt–zoom camera">pan–tilt–zoom cameras</a> (PTZ), high-performance <a href="/wiki/Wireless_access_point" title="Wireless access point">wireless access points</a> (WAPs), or even charging <a href="/wiki/Laptop_battery" class="mw-redirect" title="Laptop battery">laptop batteries</a>. </p><p>In addition to standardizing existing practice for spare-pair (<i>Alternative B</i>), common-mode data pair power (<i>Alternative A</i>) and 4-pair transmission (<i>4PPoE</i>), the IEEE PoE standards provide for signaling between the <b>power sourcing equipment</b> (PSE) and <b>powered device</b> (PD). This signaling allows the presence of a conformant device to be detected by the power source, and allows the device and source to negotiate the amount of power required or available while avoiding damage to non-compatible devices. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Standards_development">Standards development</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Power_over_Ethernet&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Standards development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Two-_and_four-pair_Ethernet">Two- and four-pair Ethernet</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Power_over_Ethernet&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Two- and four-pair Ethernet"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The original <b>IEEE 802.3af-2003</b><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> PoE standard provides up to 15.4 W of <a href="/wiki/Direct_Current" class="mw-redirect" title="Direct Current">DC</a> power (minimum <span class="nowrap">44 V DC</span> and 350 mA)<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> on each port.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Only 12.95 W is assured to be available at the powered device as some power dissipates in the cable.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <b>IEEE 802.3at-2009</b><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> PoE standard, also known as <b>PoE+</b> or <b>PoE plus</b>, provides up to 25.5 W of power for Type 2 devices.<sup id="cite_ref-standards.ieee.org_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-standards.ieee.org-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The 2009 standard prohibits a powered device from using all four pairs for power.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Both of these standards have since been incorporated into the <a href="/wiki/IEEE_802.3-2012" class="mw-redirect" title="IEEE 802.3-2012">IEEE 802.3-2012</a> publication.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <b>IEEE 802.3bt-2018</b> standard further expands the power capabilities of 802.3at.

Mode A delivers power on the data pairs of <a href="/wiki/100BASE-TX" class="mw-redirect" title="100BASE-TX">100BASE-TX</a> or 10BASE-T. Mode B delivers power on the spare pairs. 4-pair delivers power on all four pairs. PoE can also be used on 1000BASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T and 10GBASE-T Ethernet, in which case there are no spare pairs and all power is delivered using the phantom technique. </p><p>Mode A has two alternate configurations (MDI and MDI-X), using the same pairs but with different polarities. In mode A, pins 1 and 2 (pair #2 in <a href="/wiki/T568B" class="mw-redirect" title="T568B">T568B</a> wiring) form one side of the 48 V DC, and pins 3 and 6 (pair #3 in T568B) form the other side. These are the same two pairs used for data transmission in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, allowing the provision of both power and data over only two pairs in such networks. The free polarity allows PoE to accommodate for crossover cables, patch cables and <a href="/wiki/Auto_MDI-X" class="mw-redirect" title="Auto MDI-X">Auto MDI-X</a>. </p><p>In mode B, pins 4–5 (pair #1 in both <a href="/wiki/T568A" class="mw-redirect" title="T568A">T568A</a> and T568B) form one side of the DC supply and pins 7–8 (pair #4 in both T568A and T568B) provide the return; these are the <i>spare</i> pairs in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Mode B, therefore, requires a 4-pair cable. </p><p>The PSE, not the PD, decides whether power mode A or B shall be used. PDs that implement only mode A or mode B are disallowed by the standard.<sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The PSE can implement mode A or B or both. A PD indicates that it is standards-compliant by placing a 25 kΩ resistor between the powered pairs. If the PSE detects a resistance that is too high or too low (including a short circuit), no power is applied. This protects devices that do not support PoE. An optional <i>power class</i> feature allows the PD to indicate its power requirements by changing the sense resistance at higher voltages. </p><p>To retain power, the PD must use at least 5–10 mA for at least 60 ms at a time. If the PD goes more than 400 ms without meeting this requirement, the PSE will consider the device disconnected and, for safety reasons, remove power.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There are two types of PSEs: endspans and midspans. Endspans (commonly called PoE switches) are Ethernet switches that include the power over Ethernet transmission circuitry. Midspans are power injectors that stand between a regular Ethernet switch and the powered device, injecting power without affecting the data. Endspans are normally used on new installations or when the switch has to be replaced for other reasons (such as moving from <a href="/wiki/10/100" class="mw-redirect" title="10/100">10/100</a> Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s), which makes it convenient to add the PoE capability. Midspans are used when there is no desire to replace and configure a new Ethernet switch, and only PoE needs to be added to the network. </p> <table class="wikitable"> <caption>Stages of powering up a PoE link </caption> <tbody><tr> <th rowspan="2">Stage </th> <th rowspan="2">Action </th> <th colspan="2">Volts specified (V) </th></tr> <tr> <th>802.3af </th> <th>802.3at </th></tr> <tr> <td>Detection</td> <td>PSE detects if the PD has the correct signature resistance of <span class="nowrap">19–26.5 kΩ</span> </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><span class="nowrap">2.7–10.1</span> </td></tr> <tr> <td>Classification</td> <td>PSE detects resistor indicating power range (<a href="#Power_levels_available">see below</a>) </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><span class="nowrap">14.5–20.5</span> </td></tr> <tr> <td><span class="nowrap">Mark 1</span></td> <td>Signals PSE is 802.3at capable.
