Introduction
Power over Ethernet (PoE) provides a device the capability to transmit both data and
electric power over a copper Ethernet LAN cable.
The PoE-capable models of the SRX240 Services Gateway (see SRX240 Services Gateway
Models) PoE on all Gigabit Ethernet ports. The PoE ports transfer electrical power and
data, to remote devices over a standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. PoE
ports allow you to plug in devices that require both network connectivity and electric
power, such as wireless LAN access points, and VoIP telephones.
You can configure the services gateway to act as power sourcing equipment for devices
connected to the PoE ports.
Table 4 on page 6 lists the PoE specifications for SRX240 Services Gateway.

PoE Classes and Power Ratings
A powered device is classified on the basis of the maximum power that it draws across
all input voltages and operational modes. When class-based power management mode
is configured on the services gateway, power is allocated taking into account the maximum
power ratings defined for the different classes of devices.
Table 5 on page 6 lists the classes and their power ratings as specified by the IEEE 802.3
AF standard.
