Power over Ethernet (PoE)  is exactly what it sounds like: a way to deliver DC power and Ethernet data over the same standard network cable . Instead of running an Ethernet cable and  a separate power cable (plus an outlet or power supply), PoE lets you install and operate compatible devices using one cable  from a PoE switch or injector. In the world of flight simulation hardware , that simplicity translates into something every integrator and prime cares about: faster build

In flight simulation, hardware isn’t just hardware—it’s the difference between a trainer that stays online and one that constantly fights downtime. Whether you’re building a new device, upgrading a legacy simulator, or sustaining a fleet over decades, you need cockpit components that are: built for high-cycle training use consistent across devices supportable long after typical electronics go obsolete backed by a supplier who responds fast when training schedules are at risk

When a simulator program is on the line, there are three hardware categories that can make—or break—training uptime: Instruments  (gauges, indicators, standby units, and specialty controls) Displays  (glass cockpit displays, ruggedized display solutions, and integrated visual interfaces) Panels  (control panels, pedestal panels, overhead panels, and mission-specific assemblies) At Simtek , these aren’t side offerings. They’re what we do—every day. We supply simulated flight s
