When powering IP telephones, wireless access points, PDA charging stations and other PDs (Powered Devices) from an Ethernet cable, designers have at most 12.95W of available power per the IEEE 802.3af standard. Increased demands for power mandate a very efficient power converter especially for class 3 devices (consuming between 6.49W and 12.95W). The more power lost in the converter, the less power available for the PD.

The voltage available from ...
