Ethernet power meter08-11, 2025

‌Ethernet power meter‌ is a meter used to measure and monitor power consumption of network devices, and is usually used in Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems. The main functions of Ethernet power meter include measuring the consumed power, voltage and current of the device, helping users learn about the energy consumption of the device, to manage and optimize energy efficiency.
1. Working principle
The Ethernet power meter obtains the power data of the device through Power over Ethernet technology (PoE). PoE technology provides power and data signals to IP-based terminal devices through the existing Ethernet wiring structure. The Ethernet power meter is usually connected between the PoE power supply equipment (PSE) and the powered device (PD), and calculates the power consumption of the device by monitoring the voltage and current changes during power transmission.
2. Types and application scenarios
There are many types of Ethernet power meters, and the main differences are their measurement accuracy, functions and application scenarios. For example, some power meters are specially designed to measure and monitor the power consumption of smart terminal devices, such as IP phones, network surveillance cameras, etc. These devices usually have high-precision measurement functions, which can display the power consumption of the device in real time, helping users to analyze and optimize energy efficiency.
3. Installation and Usage Methods
To install an Ethernet power meter, you usually need to connect it between the PoE power supply device and the power consuming device. The specific steps include:
(1) Select the appropriate power meter model to ensure that it supports the required measurement functions and accuracy requirements.
(2) Connect the power meter to the Ethernet line between the PoE power supply device and the powered device.
(3) Turn on the device and perform initialization and calibration.
(4) Monitor the power consumption of the device in real time through the power meter's display interface or remote management software.
Through the above steps, users can easily install and use the Ethernet power meter to monitor and manage the energy consumption of the device.
