====Correct and Incorrect Ways of Using Passive PoE====
----
'''Correct Way:'''
*Voltage Matching: Ensure that the voltage supplied by the Passive PoE injector matches the voltage required by the device.
*Device Compatibility: Use Passive PoE with devices specifically designed to accept the supplied voltage without power negotiation.
*Proper Installation: Follow proper wiring practices and use quality cables to ensure stable power delivery.
*Avoid High Power Devices: Use Passive PoE for low power devices like small access points, cameras, or VoIP phones that are within the power capacity of the PoE injector.
'''Incorrect Way:'''
*Mismatched Voltage: Connecting a device to a Passive PoE injector that supplies a higher voltage than the device is designed for, leading to potential damage.
*Incompatible Devices: Using Passive PoE with devices that require IEEE 802.3af/at/bt compliant power negotiation, which can lead to malfunction or damage.
*Overloading: Attempting to power devices that require more power than what the Passive PoE can provide, causing inadequate performance or device failure.
*Improper Wiring: Using substandard or incorrect wiring that can lead to power loss, instability, or even safety hazards.
