Reduce Access Control Energy Costs with
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Technology
Borer employs ‘Clean Design’ principles to produce products that use less energy with a higher level of integration, reducing the amount and size of the equipment required.
Below is a comparison between Borer’s Clean Design using Power over Ethernet and the Traditional Architecture Model.
Borer PoE Access Control
Borer PoE FUSION System is designed to work over the corporate LAN using TCP/IP (Internet Protocol). Each door is individually connected to the Midspan Bridge using the CAT5e/6 data cable. Power and data are delivered down the CAT5e/6 cable thereby eliminating the need to install a power supply at every door.

Industry Standard Legacy Model
Typical Legacy System uses a traditional architecture which connects a chain of access doors to the LAN via an Ethernet to RS485 data converter. A data cable is run from one door to the next in a daisy chain style. Main power outlets are required at every door. In addition a metal wall box to house a power supply, battery pack and door controller is mounted at each door. Cables are installed to connect electric locks, card reader heads, etc. back to the control box.
