Power Transfer with Hybrid
Connectors
With PoDL, the highest power levels that can be
transmitted are 50W with a maximum current
of 1.36A for a data rate of 1Gbps or 52W with a
maximum current up to 1.579A for a data rate of
10Mbps as defined in IEEE802.3bu and IEEE802.3cg,
respectively. For this, the highest voltages on the
wire pair from the power sourcing equipment (PSE)
side is 60VDC.
The M8 and M12 hybrid connectors support higher
currents and, depending on the interface type of the
M12 hybrid connector, higher voltages. Therefore,
significantly higher power levels above 52W are
possible.
M8 Hybrid Connector
This connector uses 18AWG copper wires for power
lines, with 60VDC working voltage. It can transfer
nearly 350W over a 40m cable at a 20 percent
voltage drop.
M12 Hybrid Connector Types II, III (Voltages
up to 50 VAC
RMS
)
With 16AWG wires, these connectors transfer over
400W across 20m or 40m. Power is limited by
current and source voltage. At 24V, power is 100W
or 200W for 40m and 20m, respectively.

M12 Hybrid Connector Type V (Hazardous
Voltage and Three-Phase)
For 16AWG wires, a phase voltage of 480V
RMS
allows
power levels above 6kW over 40m. A 5 percent
voltage drop limits power by current, enabling long-
distance power transfer.
Power Transfer with Connector Code Type
VII (Hazardous Voltage)
These connectors use 14AWG wires. At 600V, over
9kW can be transferred over 40m with a 5 percent
voltage drop, limited by 16A current.
