Does a powered device have to have power over ethernet (PoE) device technology built in to be powered
I have been looking at power over ethernet devices. I am having a problem understanding the terminology. I am reading that a PoE switch passes electric power to a powered device (PD). The definition given for PD is any device that is powered by PoE. That seems kind of ambiguous to me. It's probably just my brain has been burned out. I just need it stated in plain english. Can I expect to get power to any device I place downstream of a PoE device?
