| - | The power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter allows Vizy to be powered via a PoE-compatible Ethernet cable. The PoE splitter is particularly useful when used with the outdoor enclosure because you only need to provide one cable into the enclosure to provide networking and power. And the cable can extend up to 100 meters (per the 1000BASE-T specification) from the networking and power source. | + | The power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter allows Vizy to be powered via a PoE-compatible Ethernet cable.
