GS108PEv3 as PD device ?
Hello, I purchased this switch some time ago and it came with an AC adapter. I am now wondering if the device in itself can be powered via POE as a PD device, as I am short on electrical outlets....

The Smart Managed Plus GS108PEv3 needs a power supply to operate, it can't be powered as a PD, but it has four PoE ports with a PoE power budget of max 53 W.

Here the power supply is optional, and the switch can be powered as PD from a PoE switch. There are no PoE ports beyond of the PD port.
