PoE capability

The PoE model is compatible with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE+) standards and can provide power to IP phones, wireless APs, and surveillance cameras. Supports dynamic PoE power allocation, providing only the actual required power to the powered device, and can configure the priority and maximum power of each port. The budget for 24 port PoE machine is 390W; the budget for 48 port PoE machine is 780W.

power configuration

Non PoE models: support built-in AC/DC backup power supply, with a machine height of 1U;

PoE model: The backup power supply is external, and the whole machine occupies 2U rack space.
