POE is power over ethernet and it has a lot of variations, one of which is POE+.
Would POE be adequate for gigabit ethernet devices?
Eh ... depends on the device. An example of where POE+ is used where POE would simply not be enough is some cameras actually have heaters built in and they defog the lens and remove any snow/ice buildup.
Another example is some mini switches will power themselves with POE+ and pass on POE to downstream devices. As long as you stay within your power budget, these types of switches can give you options that would otherwise be completely unavailable to you.
Your device will tell you what kind of power they need. Just look at their requirements.
Splitters also exist that can take POE/POE+ and give you a 5v/12v/etc... power source. This can be useful for devices that don't actually have native POE capabilities.

I've got a couple raspberry Pis powered by POE, some ESPHome devices, a zigbee controller, all of my wireless access points, security cameras and a few other random devices ... Almost all of these are placed in locations where I'd either have to run an extension cord or have to put in a new power outlet, so, POE was a better solution for me.
