X-PoE DC Lighting Launched

Extended Power over Ethernet [X-PoE®]

A game-changer to accelerate the adoption of DC technology Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, first introduced in 2003, improved our existing distribution systems by allowing us to transmit both power and data to devices over an Ethernet cable. By removing the need for separate AC power circuits, it transformed the field and enabled widespread usage of newer devices, such as those powered using DC X-PoE® (Extended PoE) technology represents a present-day upgrade of PoE. It is fast to install and doesn’t require electricians, meaning buildings can resume operations quickly. It improves upon current systems on all fronts: Reduces the cost of utilising DC connected lighting systems

Multiple channels for constant current/voltage LED driving

Provides 8 ports that can deliver controlled power in either IEEE standard (90W per port) or DC (110W per port) configurations.

Powered by a 48V-57V low-voltage DC input, it ensures efficient and reliable operation, maintaining consistent and optimised power supply to connected LED fixtures

Reduces material usage by up to 40%, thus saving energy at very competitive costs.

X-PoE® is a perfect wired companion to open-wired & wireless protocols.

  X-PoE® is not just a normal PoE; it is an enhanced version of traditional PoE technology. Here are the key differences:
  Power Delivery: While traditional PoE typically provides power up to 30W per port (PoE+) or 60W per port (PoE++), X-PoE® offers significantly higher power delivery options—90W per port in IEEE standard configurations and 110W per port in DC configurations.
  
  Efficiency: X-PoE® is designed to reduce material usage by up to 40%, making it more energy-efficient and cost-effective compared to traditional PoE systems.
  
  Installation: One of the standout features of X-PoE® is its ease of installation. It does not require electricians, allowing for quick setup and minimal downtime for buildings to resume operations.
  
  Flexibility: X-PoE® supports multiple channels for constant current/voltage LED driving and can be powered by a 48V-57V low-voltage DC input, ensuring consistent and optimized power supply to connected devices.
  Integration: X-PoE® is a perfect wired companion to open-wired and wireless protocols, making it highly adaptable and capable of integrating seamlessly with existing building management systems.

X-PoE® significantly improves efficiency by reducing material usage by up to 40%, providing higher power delivery options (90W per port in IEEE standard and 110W per port in DC configuration), and ensuring consistent and optimized power supply. While it builds on the principles of traditional PoE, X-PoE® is an advanced version offering enhanced performance and capabilities.

About Us

Our lives run on electronic technology. Electricity is crucial for everything from our work to communication to entertainment, and now even transportation. These devices of the modern day are powered largely using Direct Current (DC), which uses energy more efficiently. However, our electricity distribution systems i.e. the grid, was laid down in a different time, and therefore transmits using Alternating Current (AC). This conflict requires a conversion from AC to DC at the user-level, causing around 25% of energy loss each time. Despite the advent of newer technologies and solutions, this waste has persisted across the globe as industries resist large-scale change. At DesignWithDC, we’re on a mission to make DC cabling the mainstream choice for offices, schools, hotels, hospitals, airports, and beyond. We envision a world where intelligent, energy-efficient, and sustainable electrical systems are the norm. We’re not just designing spaces; we’re designing cutting-edge ecosystems powered by DC technology.
