Can we supply power to a mix of PoE and non PoE networked devices? Print
August 2008
Yes we can.  Please see the example below.  The diagram originates from Planet Technology Corp of Taiwan.

The Switch on 3/F is PoE PSE
The camera on 2/F and 1/F are PoE PD
The computers on 1/F are NOT PoE devices as they have their own power supply
The cameras on G/F are NOT PoE devices as they are old installations

We need to apply a splitter for NON PoE networked devices
