Summary
In a recent industry survey, Cabling Installation & Maintenance obtained information from ICT design and installation contracting companies, as well as end-user organizations, about their current and projected future deployment of technologies that power network devices. It also gathered information about these professionals’ perceptions of new-to-market powering technologies. Survey participants considered products and technologies including Power over Ethernet (PoE), fault managed power (FMP) systems, and Single Pair Ethernet/Single-Pair Power over Ethernet (SPE/SPoE).
In this webinar, Cabling Installation & Maintenance editorial director Patrick McLaughlin will present the results of this survey. The presentation will detail the perspectives of ICT design/installation contractors, along with end-user organizations, on PoE, FMP, and SPE systems. The following specific topics, reflected in survey data points, will be discussed.
From ICT Contractors
- Familiarity with, and frequency of, PoE, FMP, and SPE installations
- Skills needed to successfully install these powering systems
- Typical link lengths for PoE circuits
- Extent of collaborative planning with end-user clients
From End-User Organizations
- Network devices powered by PoE
- PoE technologies (e.g. IEEE 802.3af, ab, bt) currently in use
- Plans to add new PoE circuits to their existing networks
- Plans to add/interest in adding FMP an SPE technologies to the existing networks
- Evaluations of FMP's and SPE's benefits to the end-user network
The survey that gathered this data was commissioned by Analog Devices and CommScope. Technical information and market perspectives from these companies will be included in the presentation.
