Kannan Rangamani, Country Manager, Anixter India said, "Power over Ethernet technology is growing rapidly in India, with the deployment of IP-based devices in almost all verticals.

We expect to leverage our existing distribution network infrastructure in India to provide superior customer service, support and product availability."
PowerDsine's IEEE 802.3af standard compliant 6500 and 3000 PoE Midspan families, as well as the 6000G (Gigabit) and 8000 (High Power) Midspans offer a highly cost-effective and reliable means for upgrading the network to PoE without replacing existing Ethernet switches. PowerDsine's PoE Midspan products offer a number of advantages. A single Cat 5 cable provides both data and power eliminating the need for a separate wire to power the end devices. Wireless LAN APs and security cameras can be installed without the additional expense of contracting an electrician to install ac outlets where deployed. It further gives the option to install in places where performance is optimum and not tethered to an existing ac outlet. This is especially vital for devices like Wireless LAN APs, which may be installed in hard to reach places like the ceiling in order to achieve the broadest coverage.
