The CUE has implemented Power Over Ethernet (PoE) to touch panels airCUE and, in near future, is going to do so with other products as well.
Power over Ethernet (PoE), sometimes also called Active Ethernet, provides a way for your network devices to be powered by their data cables rather than by separate power cords. In many applications, particularly in the installation of touchpanels, keyboards, sensors, wireless access points or IP telephones, PoE can significantly reduce installation costs.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) integrates power and data onto one single cabling infrastructure, eliminating the need to have AC power adapters available at all locations. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines how products should provide and receive power over the data infrastructure. Using category 5/5e cable or better, PoE will provide power to PoE compatible device, such as IP telephones, wireless LAN access points and IP cameras, for a distance up to 100 Meters. Products that are powered by PoE are generically called powered Devices (PD). PoE is already widely adopted in the market, saving up to 50% of overall installation costs by eliminating the need to install separate electrical wiring and power outlets in new or hard to reach places.
