Description

[0002] With the rapid development of smart buildings and the Internet of Things, Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology has been widely used in network device deployment due to its ability to transmit data and power simultaneously through network cables. Traditional PoE switches are mainly used to power devices such as network cameras and wireless access points, simplifying the wiring process and reducing construction costs. However, with the increasing demand for intelligent lighting, the problems of complex wiring, difficulty in centralized management, and energy waste in traditional lighting systems are becoming increasingly prominent. The market urgently needs a solution that can deeply integrate lighting systems with network systems.

[0003] Meanwhile, although existing PoE technology is relatively mature, it still faces many challenges when applied to the lighting field. On the one hand, the power requirements and operating characteristics of lighting equipment differ from those of traditional network equipment, making it difficult for ordinary PoE switches to meet their stable power supply requirements. On the other hand, traditional lighting systems lack remote control and intelligent adjustment functions, making it impossible to achieve intelligent operations such as automatically adjusting brightness according to environmental changes. In addition, existing lighting systems and network systems are independent of each other, making it impossible to achieve data sharing and collaborative work, resulting in low overall management efficiency. To address these issues, we propose a PoE switch for lighting with network cable power supply. Utility Model Content
