PoE Texas has achieved a breakthrough with compatible PoE solutions for the latest generation of tech with the launch of their GAT line of Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters. The new Gigabit 802.3at PoE splitters make it possible to power laptops, pro tablets, single-board computers, PTZ cameras, LED lights and more with the existing PoE infrastructure used to power common devices like Wi-Fi access points, IP security cameras and VOIP phones.

The four new PoE splitter solutions expand the list of devices that can be powered by PoE to include Nest Cam, Microsoft Surface Pro, iPad Pro and other popular electronics. The GAT line of splitters also includes a new solution for powering 24-volt passive PoE devices with 802.3at PoE switches.

802.3at PoE, also known as PoE+, offers twice the power of the earlier 802.3af PoE standard. Powering the latest generation of non-PoE devices like laptops, monitors, single board computers, PTZ cameras and pro tablet computers requires the additional capacity of 802.3at.
