In a daisy-chain topology, PoE switches are connected in series, one after another. Powered devices—such as VoIP telephones, wireless access points, video cameras, and point-of-sale devices—that support PoE can receive power safely from the same access ports that are used to connect personal computers to the network. This reduces the amount of wiring in a network, and also. In this configuration, an Ethernet connection includes Power over Ethernet (PoE) (gray cable looping below), and a PoE splitter provides a separate data cable (gray, looping above) and power cable (black, also looping above) for a wireless access point. Each switch is linked to the next in this configuration, forming a chain. This setup allows for efficient data and power transmission across multiple devices without requiring.
