Standardisation of IEEE 802.3bt helps to address the growing need for higher PoE solutions and provide a standard format,” state Neil Heller, Vigitron’s VP of Business Development.

However it also resulted in confusion as it is not compatible with the non-standard UPoE used by many leading camera manufacturers for many years."

With a growing number of manufacturers adopting IEEE 802.3bt, installers are confused as to why an application requiring a 60W PoE source does not work with some high-power PoE sources.” Vigitron’s “U” series solves that problem by providing PoE compatible with both IEEE 802.3bt and UPoE. Vigitron’s “U” series includes a complete line of extenders, repeaters and much more using UTP, Coax and fibre cables.
