Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE) Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE)

Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE), is the latest innovation from Cisco that extends IEEE PoE+ standard by doubling the power per port to 60W over a single standard Ethernet Cable. This innovative technology from Cisco is a generation ahead of the market and is available on the world's most widely deployed Cisco Catalyst access switching platform

Industry Leading Partnerships through CDN will allow partners to power a broad range of end-devices through the network, and with resiliency, lower cost. Besides support for a broad set of endpoints in the enterprise workspace environment, some additional benefits of UPOE are:

  • High availability for power. Guarantees uninterrupted services; a requirement for critical applications (911)
  • Lower OpEx by providing network resiliency at lower cost by consolidating backup powerinto the wiring closet
  • Faster deployment of new campus access networking infrastructures by eliminating the need for a power outlet for every endpoint.
  • Combined with Cisco EnergyWise and Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE), helps meet corporate sustainability mandates while lowering energy costs.
