From work to leisure, humans are tied to devices for productivity and entertainment, as well as health and safety. The advent of the Internet added a new dimension to electronic devices, making data and connectivity essential to daily life. For several key reasons, the emergence of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology is quickly overtaking the market as the most efficient and practical choice for devices that require both power and data.  1. Ease and Safety of Installation. Whereas traditionally, two sets of cables and two contractors were required to install separate communications and electrical cable, PoE technology allows both systems to run on a single cable. Installation only requires one contractor, making it simpler and safer.  2. Range. Applications in remote locations or positions with no easy access to an outlet, such as digital security cameras, were often hard to install and maintain. By removing the need for devices to be directly connected to an AC power source or outlet, PoE technology expands what is possible for applications. 3. Cost Reduction. By cutting physical and labor needs in half, PoE cables offer a significant cost reduction on installation. These savings extend to operations as well, as PoE technology operates more efficiently, generates less heat and prevents data loss.  Superior Essex is proud to be on the cutting edge of PoE technology. As the provider of PowerWise™, the leading PoE cable for digital building applications, Superior Essex offers a variety of solutions for every application.  [Click here to learn more about Superior Essex.](https://www.accu-tech.com/more-vendors/superior-essex) [Click here to contact your local Accu-Tech representative. ](https://www.accu-tech.com/contact-us)   *Content provided by Superior Essex.* - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [Superior Essex](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/superior-essex) [PoE](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/poe) [power over ethernet](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/power-over-ethernet) [spsx](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/spsx) [powerwise](https://www.accu-tech.com/accu-insider/topic/powerwise) ### Subscribe To Our Blog ### Additional Information ### About Accu-Tech Accu-Tech is a national distributor of Voice, Data, AV, Wireless, and Security solutions.
