Explanation
A PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch can deliver electrical power alongside data through standard Ethernet cables to connected devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies for those devices. Repeaters only amplify signals, hubs are basic multi-port signal repeaters with no power delivery capability, and while Access Points can receive PoE power, they do not supply it to other devices. Only a PoE-capable switch provides power to attached devices.
