This kind of Technology in which a System is designed to pass electrical power safely and with complete data on Ethernet Cabling, is called a PoE Technology or Power over Ethernet Technology. The Technology Standard is also known as PoE or PoE Plus.
Nowadays, a range of Timekeeping Products including Time Clock Systems etc are all available based on this type of Technology. Digital Clocks are among the Modern Timekeeping Products that are used in the Vertical Markets. There are several useful aspects of PoE based Digital Clocks, that we will come to know in this article. Please go through this article to learn more about Digital Clocks in detail.
Data and Power Standards
In terms of Data and Power Standards, the Technology Based Clocks are designed with One Single Cable for both power and data transfer. The equipment that comes without any power or data connection can be used with PoE technology to fulfill the power demand.
In Power over Ethernet Digital Clocks, the centralized UPS backup is simple and also this Technology supports the non use of Wall Transformers. One of the best Technological Features of this kind is that the Clocks are completely compatible with different Powered as well as Non-Powered Ethernet Devices. With easy to install and transfer capabilities, the Clocks need less maintenance efforts.
Cost, Complexity and Mounting Options
As no AC outlets are required, the products eliminate costs and complexity. It only needs to use existing Ethernet LAN and the Time is based on Automatic Setup via SNTP, so no Serial Connection is required in this regard and here, SNTP stands for Simple Network Time Protocol.
The Digital Clocks come with different mounting options including Cantilever, Surface, Pendant, Double Sided and Flush Inset. By using a Mounting Kit, one can easily mount the Clocks from the walls or ceilings, to maximize the chances of visibility in any hallway etc. Individuals can select from a range of configurations to fulfill all the needs of the facility.
Display
The Clocks come designed with a display option to support easy visibility from a distance. The LED Display is either in red or green with 5-6 inch high digits being very visible and it also comes with the option of a Buzzer.
