GS105PE PoE Daisy Chain
Hi, I need (or rather want :smileyvery-happy:) to install two switches in a place where there is no power. My existing network consists of an ASUS WiFi Router and not much else. My plan i...
Thanks for your replies.
Both devices have shipped today and I have just set up a simple test.
Before I go into further details: my plan works! :smileyhappy:
Regarding your statements:
- a: I do of course understand the limitations in bandwith / speed.
- I gladly take this drawback for the added convenience
- Originally, I simply wanted to run one cable from point A to B - these switches are meant to be for future additions / serviceability
- b: At the moment: 1 PC.
- c: No - the added devices won't need PoE.
Here is a quick photo of my tests (I got full Gigabit speed on either of the switches):
- a: I do of course understand the limitations in bandwith / speed.
Router <-GbE-> PoE+ injector <-GbE/PoE Plus 25.5W-> GS105PE <-PoE Class0/3 15.5W-> GS105PE
Never tried - shoud be workable in my opinion. No spare GS105PE at hand for a test I'm afraid.
Hi Mr_Stocki,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Why connect a 2nd GS105PE switch? (The 2nd GS105PE switch will only give the same port allowance as the 1st GS105PE switch anyway, 4 Ethernet ports with port 1 & 2 PSE ports)
b. What type of devices will be connected to the second switch?
c. Do they require to be powered by PoE? If yes, how much power do they need?For me, I would rather use the GS110TP smart switch instead of having 2 GS105PE switch cascaded. To know more about the GS110TP switch, check its data sheet here.
