PoE Standards & Power Levels
IEEE 802.3af (PoE) – Up to 15.4W (12.95W usable)
IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) – Up to 30W (25.5W usable)
IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) – Up to 60W (Type 3) or 100W (Type 4)
What's the Features of PoE?
1. Simplified Wiring & Reduced Installation Costs
Single Cable Solution: PoE delivers both power and data over a single Ethernet cable (Cat5e/Cat6), eliminating the need for separate power lines.
No Need for Additional Power Outlets: Reduces the complexity of wiring, especially in retrofit installations.
2. Centralized Power & Control
Compatible with Smart Systems: PoE-enabled tubular motors can be integrated into home automation systems via a PoE switch.
Remote Management: Motors can be controlled and monitored through a central network, enabling automated scheduling, remote access, and voice control (via Alexa, Google Assistant, etc.).
3. Improved Reliability & Safety
Low Voltage (Typically 48V DC): Safer than high-voltage AC wiring, reducing risks of electrical hazards.
Stable Power Supply: PoE switches often provide uninterrupted power, reducing motor failures due to voltage fluctuations.
4. Scalability & Flexibility
Easy Expansion: Adding more devices is as simple as connecting another PoE-compatible device to the network connection. New Device can be placed anywhere with a network without major electrical work.
Supports Long Distances: PoE can deliver power up to 100 meters (with PoE extenders if needed), making it suitable for large installations.
5. Energy Efficiency & Smart Power Management
Power Scheduling: Motors can be programmed to operate at specific times, improving energy efficiency.
PoE switches can remotely reboot/reset devices.
6. Future-Proof & IoT-Ready
Seamless Integration with Smart Buildings: Works with IP-based automation systems, making it ideal for smart homes, offices, and hotels.
Supports Data Transmission: Enables real-time feedback (e.g., position sensing, fault detection) over the same Ethernet cable.
How to get wiring for Deyi's POE Matter motor?
Connect one end of the CAT 6A inline coupler to the Ethernet cable from the motor, and the other end to the Ethernet cable from the PoE switch(PSE, Endspan).
Attention!!!
The PoE motor receives power from a standard PoE switch. For installations requiring cable routing through metal walls, protective sleeving or sheathing is mandatory to ensure insulation and safety.
To minimize electrostatic charging (ESD), end products should avoid the following:
Fabric-on-fabric friction, particularly in zebra, shangri-la shades....
Contact between hardware (e.g., fascia, cassette, guide rails) and fabric, which can generate friction-induced ESD.
Repeated operational cycles without sufficient downtime to allow static charge dissipation.
Insufficient clearance between the motor tube and a small-diameter outer tube (ID) can lead to mechanical interference or binding.
