A POE switch board is a printed circuit board (PCB) which is the heart of a POE switch. It has all the required logic to handle data switching, power injection, and power management for POE capable devices. The switch board is capable of processing Ethernet data packets and injecting power through the Ethernet sockets as per the POE standard. During the fabrication of POE switches, the POE switch board is a key element that is adaptable for specific port arrangements, power allocation, and control capabilities. This design allows for the compact integration of data and power distribution, which can be transformed into different types of POE switches intended for various network purposes
