  CMS Technologies is the innovator in putting a DC current signal to the 802.3 connection. In April of 1995 CMS received a US Patent for impressing power onto associated current loops™ which comprise xBaseT network wiring, without distrupting the Ethernet data communications. The IEEE 802.3af Standards Committee now refers to this important technique as Powered Ethernet.

Powered Ethernet enables the delivery of power (together with data) without disruption of the ethernet data signal. The EtherLock® equipment panel, or power Hub, connected to a LAN Switch, sends power over the existing data communication lines, thereby eliminating the need to locally power remote devices. Thus, the CMS EtherLock equipment panel provides an efficient, effective and economical way to remotely power, identify, monitor and physically manage ethernet devices and their connecting infrastructure.

Powered Ethernet applications cover a broad range of communication devices and connecting infrastructure. Communication devices include IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, web cams, building sensors, personal identification devices, and more. Connecting infrastructure includes intelligent or self-identifying patch panels, cross-connects, walljacks, etc.

CMS provides a common web-based interface called inControl
®, which interfaces Powered Ethernet applications to virtually any management application including, asset management, cable management, facility management and network management systems.
