With the world of IEEE PoE switches like the GS105PE there is no risk of power applied on the PoE ports. An IEEE PD is required requesting PoE power from the power source, otherwise these are just plain Ethernet ports.

This is something that I know.
However, the specifications are not clear. I copy from the product's page:
- Total PoE Power budget (Watts) : PoE pass-thru: 19W with 802.3at / 7.9W with 802.3af input power.
It doesn't say that the PoE output ports confront with 802.3at/af standard. This is why I ask, effectively I am asking for the experience of other people.
If you say that they are following the standard, then I am happy to "pull the trigger".
