HPOE1: Power-over-Ethernet Adapter Kit Accessory

2-in-1 Adapter Kit Delivers Both Data and Power to Ethernet-enabled Network Devices over standard Ethernet Cables

[quote]IRVINE, CA – June 4th, 2007 – Hawking Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of wired/wireless networking and home automation solutions for small office/home office (SOHO) and small-to-medium business (SMB) users, announced the release of its HPOE1 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Adapter Kit today. The new, 2-in-1 Injector-plus-Splitter Adapter Kit delivers both power and data over standard Ethernet cables, thereby giving users the flexibility to place their Ethernet-enabled network devices in areas where power outlets are not readily available.

The HPOE1 is a Plug-and-Play network accessory and can be installed within minutes. Users simply connect one end of the injector unit to the included power adapter and a router or switch, and the other end to a single Ethernet cable which transmits both data and power to the splitter unit. The splitter unit then delivers data and power to an access point, network camera, or similar Ethernet-enabled network device. Unlike other PoE adapters, which feature only one or two power settings, the HPOE1’s splitter unit has three adjustable power settings – 5V, 7.5V, and 12V - for compatibility with a wider range of network devices. The HPOE1 works with both wired and wireless Ethernet-enabled network devices.

By no longer having to keep their network devices near wall outlets, users can place them in locations that enable optimal performance. An access point, for example, could be placed on the ceiling for better wireless signal distribution, while an IP camera could be mounted on the side of a building for a better field of view. “The HPOE1 is a simple and affordable accessory that anyone can use to achieve the best positioning for their network devices,â€
