Poe switch

Abstract

A POE switch includes a switch module, a POE power supply module and a standard selection module. The microcontroller is communicatively connected with the POE power supply module, the selection unit is connected with the microcontroller and configured to receive an external operation and output an operation signal to the microcontroller, and the microcontroller is configured to control the POE power supply module to supply power to the PD with a corresponding power supply standard according to the operation signal. By operating the selection unit, the microcontroller can control the POE power supply module to supply power to the PD with a corresponding power supply standard. One PSE can supply power to all types of PDs, therefore the compatibility of the POE switch is improved, and the flexibility of building a POE system is improved accordingly.
