4.1 What is the Gigabit PoE Supply?
The Gigabit PoE Supply is a Gigabit power supply intended to provide power to devices over PoE. It
is a passive power supply, meaning that power-negotiation is not supported and power is delivered
at all times. More information please find in chapter "7.1 Technical specifications" on page 20.
The Gigabit PoE Supply is designed for harsh stage conditions and offers a reliable solution for
powering various devices. With optional accessoires, it offers several mounting options including
truss mount, rack mount and table/wallbox mount to fit the needs of system integrators and live
entertainment engineers.
