Which component of the TSC is described as providing "Power over Ethernet"?

The Ethernet switch is the component of the Tactical Session Controller (TSC) that provides "Power over Ethernet" (PoE). This capability allows the switch to deliver electrical power, along with data, to connected devices through standard Ethernet cables. This is particularly useful in scenarios where it may not be practical to have separate power supplies for each device.

Using PoE can simplify installations and reduce clutter by minimizing the number of cables needed, which is particularly beneficial in tactical environments where efficiency and space are critical. The Ethernet switch thus serves a dual purpose, enhancing connectivity while also supplying necessary power to various network devices like IP cameras, phones, and access points.

Understanding this functionality helps in recognizing how various components in a TSC system interact and supports efficient infrastructure deployment.
