Does Netgear have a 8 port PoE extender/passthrough?

I ask because D-Link apparently has an 8 port PoE DGS-1100-8P Rev B that unofficially can be PoE powered through a legacy PD setting when paired with a 24 port DGS-1210-08P upstream.

Reads like a very specific combination of two eight-port switches, whereas the functionality you are vaguely behind might be available on a certain older model and a certain hardware release according to an elderly post on Reddit

" I got my hands on a DLink DGS-1100-08P HW Revision B. This is supposed to be a PoE switch that PROVIDES power but I found that (when connected to a DGS-1210-08P) it shows up as a Legacy PD device and can actually be powered with PoE. .."

Wonder how much power this PSE can make avilable with this legacy mode - very unlikely there is a lot more than the 802.3at can.

"It then powers all its normal PoE ports normally. I got 2 IP cameras and an access point (3 ports) all using the passthrough PoE simultaneously."

Now I would be completely careful on these kind of posts - wild guess the PSE does supply about 30 W, minus some cable overhead makes some 25.5 W ... I would wonder what effective power is available, deducting some 5 W for the switch itself, there are about 20 W available, which is enough to supply _one_ 802.3af requiring 15.4 W. Siad that, _one_ port can be powered.

"I got 2 IP cameras and an access point (3 ports) all using the passthrough PoE simultaneously. I did find that the whole thing browned out if I pulled too much power, but the settings in the 1100-08P allow setting a max wattage which might be useful." 

Predictable 8-)

I'd scratch this plan.
