What is Power Over Ethernet (PoE)?
PoE enables power and data transmission through a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power sources. This simplifies infrastructure, lowers installation costs, and supports smart building applications, including lighting, security systems, and sit-stand desks.
LINAK®: Innovating with PoE in height adjustability
Introducing its PoE-compatible system at NeoCon 2024, LINAK has pioneered PoE integration in office furniture and spaces. With its PoE-enabled systems, LINAK enhances workspace flexibility, energy efficiency, and installation simplicity.
Sustainability Benefits of PoE
PoE reduces energy consumption and waste by operating at lower voltages, minimizing power losses. Centralized power management supports smart energy-saving strategies, such as shutting down unused devices. By eliminating extensive electrical wiring and reducing reliance on AC-powered outlets, PoE decreases material waste and supports green building certifications like LEED.
Cost and Maintenance Savings
As mentioned above, PoE lowers building costs by reducing wiring needs and labor expenses but it also simplifies maintenance, as IT teams can troubleshoot and update devices remotely. Energy-efficient power distribution leads to lower utility bills, while streamlined infrastructure minimizes clutter and facilitates office modifications.
How LINAK Desk Systems Utilize PoE
LINAK PoE-powered desks operate with a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for traditional electrical outlets at each workstation. Simplifying installation and enhancing mobility in office layouts, PoE integration also enables advanced smart office features like desk occupancy tracking, automated height adjustments, and energy-efficient scheduling.
PoE is revolutionizing commercial office spaces by simplifying power delivery, improving sustainability, and reducing costs. As smart office technologies gain traction, PoE is becoming the standard. LINAK PoE-enabled desk systems offer businesses a cost-effective, flexible, and eco-friendly workspace solution, shaping the future of modern offices.
