Powering the Switch

• The switch receives its own power via a PoE-in port, which can be from an 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt source.
• The type of power input affects the total PoE output power budget available for the four PoE-out ports.
• For example, connecting to an 802.3bt source (such as a compatible 60W injector) allows the switch to deliver its maximum 46W PoE output budget.
