Is it safe to connect non-PoE devices to the GS305P switch?

Is it safe (for all the devices) to connect both types of devices: PoE & non-PoE to the GS305P switch ?

(e.g. PCs, Laptops, no-PoE hubs, etc)

    Hi LeMike,

    Yes it is safe to have PoE and non-PoE. on the same switch. The power will only engage if the device has request.

    Please let me know if you need anything else. :]
