IEEE - http://www.ieee.com

IEEE approved the creation of the IEEE802.3at DTE Power Enhancements Task Force in September 2005. Akros Silicon continues to be a key contributor to this effort.

The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the specifications to deliver power over standard Ethernet cables, details can be found at: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/af/index.html

The 802.3at standard should extend the 802.3af power delivery and port-level resiliency capabilities, which would largely extend the number of applications that could benefit from Power over Ethernet. Details can be found at: http://www.ieee802.org/3/at/public/index.html
