Introduction
Running a business in industries like energy, transportation, or manufacturing comes with challenges. One big issue is complex cabling. It drives up costs, causes maintenance headaches, and slows down operations. PoE network switches solve this by sending power and data through one cable. This cuts costs and simplifies setups.
Shenzhen HoweVision Technology Co., Ltd., a trusted name in industrial communication, gets these problems. With over 10 years of experience, we offer PoE network switches that meet IEEE 802.3 standards. Our solutions are rugged, certified for IEC 61850-3 environments, and support ONVIF for video systems. This article explains how PoE Ethernet switches tackle B2B pain points. We’ll also showcase HoweVis’s top PoE switch products to help you build a smarter network.
The Problems with Complex Cabling
High Installation Costs
Traditional networks need separate cables for power and data. This means more materials and labor. For industrial sites like factories or transport hubs, installing many cables is costly and time-consuming. Adding new devices as your business grows only increases expenses.
Maintenance and Downtime
Complex cabling wears out fast, especially in tough environments. Faulty cables can disrupt networks, causing downtime. In industries like energy or manufacturing, downtime means lost money. Fixing these issues often requires skilled workers, which adds to costs.
Space and Clutter Issues
Too many cables create a mess. This makes it hard to manage equipment in tight spaces like control rooms. Cluttered setups also complicate maintenance. Meeting Industry 4.0 standards, like those from the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC), requires clean and efficient designs. Traditional cabling often falls short.
What Are PoE Network Switches?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology sends power and data through one Ethernet cable. It follows IEEE 802.3 standards for reliable performance. PoE network switches power devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT sensors. They’re perfect for industrial use.
These switches come in different types, like PoE, PoE+, and PoE++. They work with protocols like PROFINET and EtherCAT, fitting Industry 4.0 needs. With PoE Ethernet switches, you use fewer cables, save money, and gain flexibility.

Benefits of PoE Network Switches
Less Cabling Hassle
PoE Ethernet switches use one cable for power and data. This cuts down on wiring needs. It saves time and money during installation. For example, in a factory, one PoE switch can power multiple cameras and sensors without extra power lines.
Lower Costs
PoE technology reduces setup and maintenance costs. Fewer cables mean less labor and materials. There are also fewer parts to fail, lowering repair costs. For growing businesses, PoE switches make adding new devices easy without major rewiring.
Better Reliability
HoweVis’s PoE switches are tough. They’re certified for IEC 61850-3, handling extreme conditions like heat or dust. Fewer cables mean fewer chances for failures. This keeps networks running smoothly, which is critical for industries like energy.
Flexible and Scalable
PoE switches support many devices, from cameras to IoT sensors. HoweVis’s switches work with PROFINET and EtherCAT, fitting into existing networks. As your business grows, you can add devices without big changes to your setup.
