E-link PoE Switche

When choosing a PoE switch, you will often hear the question: “Standard or non‑standard?”
Today, we will explain both types and provide guidance on how to select the right one for your needs.

1. What Are Standard PoE and Non‑Standard PoE?

Standard PoE complies with the IEEE 802.3af/at/bt protocols.
Non‑standard PoE does not meet these protocol requirements.

Key Differences:

Output Voltage

Non‑standard PoE delivers a fixed output voltage, usually 12V or 24V. However, 48V non‑standard versions are also available for specific applications. A multimeter can be used to verify the voltage.

2. How to Choose Between Standard and Non‑Standard PoE

The decision mainly depends on the voltage required by the powered device:

• If the device requires a fixed 12V or 24V input, non‑standard PoE is a suitable choice.

• If the device requires a 48V input, standard PoE is the better and safer option.

E‑link Product Highlights:

• The E‑link mini series standard PoE switches support 12V to 48V input and feature built‑in voltage boost capability.

• Non‑standard 12V output switches support 12V input.

• Non‑standard 24V output switches support 12V to 24V input.

Power Capacity:

Standard PoE switches with voltage boost capability support a total power range of 60W to 120W under 12V to 48V DC input (e.g., E‑link’s LNK‑IMC005GP).
