Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for the transmission of voltage over an Ethernet line.It tests for resistance on the receiving device and sends a test voltage escalating to the voltage determined by the class of the device.The circuit is formed by two sets of pins on both the receiving and sending device.This is useful for situations where devices require low power and are not near an electrical outlet.
