IP telephony: a revolution for structured cabling systems | PC Tech Magazine:


 "The need for power over UTP: Today’s phones are fully functional during power outages, but emergency power units are not available for most of the data network equipment. Once the two applications are running on the same network, powering some –if not all –active network equipment will be required. Therefore, IP telephony–ready structured cabling systems will need a plan to power active devices during a power outage. Power over UTP will be a critical technology used to achieve this goal."
