In the market, PoE switches are divided into standard PoE switches and non-standard PoE switches. At present, standard PoE switches are more widely used.

The existence of non-standard PoE switches is determined by market demand, mostly to save costs. And those PoE switches marked with standard slogans are not necessarily standard.

The difference between non-standard PoE switch and standard PoE switch mainly lies in whether there is a PoE chip inside.

There is a PoE chip in the standard PoE switch. After connecting the network equipment, it can detect and identify whether the power receiving equipment meets the PoE power receiving standard, and then provide appropriate power supply. If the receiving equipment does not meet the PoE standard, it will not supply power.

Non-standard PoE switch has no PoE chip and no detection and identification function. Start power supply directly after connecting with network equipment.
