The ProSafe FS108P provides power and data from a single point, using Power over Ethernet PoE over a single Cat5 cable. The eight Fast Ethernet ports can be used for any 10/100 Mbps link and four of these ports can supply industrystandard IEEE 802.3af power. Advanced autosensing algorithm gives power only to 802.3af end devices, so no need to worry about damaging proprietary PoE or nonPoE equipment. In addition, it discontinues the power when PoE devices are disconnected. Easy and reliable, the ProSafe FS108P automatically determines PoE requirements, speed, duplex, and cable type using AutoUplink.
