| The power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter allows Vizy to be powered via a PoE-compatible Ethernet cable. The PoE splitter is particularly useful when paired with the outdoor enclosure, because you only need to provide one cable for both networking and power. The cable can also 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.
