Kiosk Computer Product Reference Guide

Setting up PoE

This section provides guidelines to correctly set up your device's PoE. For more information on configuring your PoE, go to zebra.com/techdocs-kc50_kiosk.

Select a power class that will power your required ports, peripherals, and device brightness settings.

Each power class profile defines default restrictions on USB ports, peripherals, and device brightness settings. Go to zebra.com/techdocs-kc50_kiosk for the power class profile definitions.

Select an 8-wire cable with RJ45 connectors.

Ethernet-8 conductor cable compliant to Cat5e or higher is recommended.

The maximum distance from the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to the device is 100 m.

Do not use a Cat5 cable that mixes telephone/ethernet signal.

Use a recommended standalone 802.3bt-compliant power injector. Class 8 (90 W or greater) injectors are recommended to allow the most flexibility for power budgeting.

Select a Power Sourcing Equipment class that will provide sufficient power for your device. For the highest device functionality, the recommended class is Class 8, and the minimum functional requirement is Class 4.

If using an 802.3bt-compliant network switch, configure your network switch to ensure the Ethernet port(s) for the device have the highest priority to prevent power demotion and unexpected power loss.
