### How do I power the device?
The **most common way to power the JetKVM is via it's USB-C port**, which will be connected to the computer you're
controlling. Many computers have USB ports that are constantly powered, though you may need to enable it in the BIOS/UEFI
setup. Some devices may have a marking on the constant-power USB port.
However, **we understand that this might not be possible in every situation,** so here are some other options:
- **Included USB-C Power/Data Splitter**: The JetKVM comes with a power/data splitter cable for the USB port, allowing
you to connect one cable to a power source (_e.g., a 5v phone charger_) and the other to the target host for
keyboard & mouse control.
- **DC Extension**: The DC extension allows the JetKVM to control the power-supply to a computer, but can also power
the JetKVM device itself through the RJ11 cable, connected to the extension port.
- **ATX Board Extension**: You can use a USB-C port, or header, on your ATX motherboard to power the JetKVM via the
ATX extension, JetKVM will receive 5v over the RJ11 cable.
Please see the [Power Options page](../peripheral-devices/alternative-power-sources).
### Is there/will there be a PoE version?
