Daisy Changing two POE Switches off of a NightHawk
I am needing to get POE to the other side of the house and I can't run multiple Cat5/6. Here is what I am thinking. Nighthawk to Netgear 5-Port GS305E or a 5-Port POE GS305EPP . About a 20 foot run...
Welcome to the community! :)
Here is what I am thinking.
Nighthawk to Netgear 5-Port GS305E or a 5-Port POE GS305EPP . About a 20 foot run.
GS305E/GS305EPP to Netgear 8 port POE GS308EPP. About a 30 foot run.
Yes, these setup can be implemented.
Also can you daisy change to POE switches?
Yes, you can daisy chain or cascade a number of PoE switches because there is no limit on it. However, the good practice would be up to 2-3 switches daisy chained. Its because the more switch that you daisy chain will add latency on the network.

In case the concern is PoE you don't have to worry. A IEEE standards based PoE switch does not blindly supply power on a PSE (power source) port. This requires a negotiation with the PD (powered device) connected, if there is none it's a plain normal Ethernet port.
