Research conducted by Endeavor B2B/Endeavor Business Intelligence shows 49% of end-user organizations that use Power over Ethernet (PoE) have at least one PoE circuit that is greater than 100 meters in length. Industry standards specify PoE up to a maximum length of 100 meters, leaving nearly half of all user organizations without ironclad guidance on deploying these systems.

So, what happens when your network must deliver both data and power—across miles of campus?

Higher education networks face increasing demands for supporting more devices, greater bandwidth, and longer distances—often powered by PoE. However, traditional solutions are reaching their limits, posing risks to performance, scalability, and future readiness.

Learn how to:

• Overcome PoE’s apparent distance limitations to ensure a campus network is equipped to support current and future technologies.
• Deliver data and power to common network devices, including Wi-Fi access points, cellular antennas, security/surveillance systems, digital signage and others.
• Uncover fault-managed power as an option for long-distance power delivery in environments such as university campuses, including discussion of building codes’ recognition of FMP and practical strategies for its implementation.
