CommScope is supporting its customers’ increasing PoE needs by introducing new software capabilities in imVision, its unique automated infrastructure management (AIM) system.

The enhanced imVision capability enables IT managers to keep track of the location of PoE powered devices while providing more visibility into where PoE services are and can be deployed, said CommScope.

PoE growth trends are due to the ongoing explosion of IoT devices in the building—LED lighting systems, security cameras, wireless access points, etc.—as well as the convergence of IT and building operations technology. PoE technology safely transmits electricity along with data over twisted pair cabling to remote devices. Most people initially came to know PoE through the use of VoIP telephones, which were the first, massively deployed devices to utilize PoE. 

CommScope said it has made significant contributions to the PoE standardization efforts in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) as well as cabling standard groups in the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC), and European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC).

The Compan claims that the imVision is the first AIM solution to implement TIA, CENELEC, and ISO/IEC guidelines for tracking PoE energized cables in a cable bundle.

Serving the intelligent building marketplace today demands support for PoE and an ecosystem approach that brings technology leaders together to deliver best-in-class solutions.
