Data and power in one connection
Niko has updated its entire RJ45 connector portfolio (including Cat5e utp/stp, Cat6 utp/stp, and Cat6a utp/stp) and made them PoE type 4 ready. In practice, this means you need just one data cable to supply devices, like laptops, speakers, security cameras and access devices, IP phones, etc. with data and power.
Part of the Niko family
As you would expect, Niko’s RJ45 connectors are compatible with Niko finishings and finishing sets, making it easy to neatly integrate them into a network of Niko equipment in the home or office.
What is PoE?
Before PoE became available, it was necessary to install both an electrical and network/data connection to provide devices with power and join them to the network. PoE delivers these two purposes with just one cable, as network cables can carry data while also supplying electrical power to networked, IP-enabled devices.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) as a technology is useful to power devices such as Wi-Fi access points (WAPs), security cameras, IP telephones (VoIP), building automation and control systems. It’s also a simple and cost-effective way of providing data and power to devices connected via Ethernet.
Reliable Niko quality
Niko’s RJ45 PoE++ connectors have been designed and built to last.
This includes ensuring the internal pin construction is solid and resists the well-known sparking when pulling out the cable.
The equipment has also been extensively tested in the lab.
