A reverse POE switch is a device that can receive power from an external powered device through an ethernet cable and is capable of distributing power to other devices within the network. Unlike Power over Ethernet (POE) switches which gives power to auxiliary devices, reverse POE switches enables greater flexibility in powering multiple devices without needing solar source on each one of them. Such switches can be advantageous in out of grid or difficult to access powered networks like remote surveillance systems where single power generating device must support multiple cameras while ensuring the network operates continuously by switching reverse POE.
