Cabling Installation & Maintenance (CIM) has published an insightful article examining the use, familiarity, and growing interest in various powering technologies for network devices. This report explores Power over Ethernet (PoE), Fault Managed Power (FMP), and Single Pair Ethernet (SPE), providing key takeaways from ICT professionals on their adoption, satisfaction, and future deployment plans.
Key Insights:
🔹 PoE – A globally adopted technology, PoE supports devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, and surveillance cameras. With standards like IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt, many organizations are expanding their PoE networks, reporting high satisfaction rates.
🔹 FMP – Gaining traction for its ability to transmit power over long distances while centralizing power management. While familiarity with FMP is moderate, interest continues to grow.
🔹 SPE – Originally developed for automotive applications, SPE is now gaining attention in building automation due to its ability to transmit both power and data over a single pair of conductors. Despite growing interest, challenges such as product availability and limited industry awareness remain.
Based on a survey of ICT professionals, the findings highlight real-world deployment trends, satisfaction levels, and the evolving landscape of network-powering technologies.
