Thank you schumaku for your reply.
I plug my iPhone and iPad into my GS308PP switch, via Belkin's Ethernet PoE adapter. Whenever I need internet, I plug in my device to the switch, which is most of the time. (I don't like using Wi-Fi because of the health risks.) This means I'm charging my devices most of them. But recently, my iPhone screen bulged outwards because the battery swelled. Apple told me that I should not be charging my devices all the time and that I should let it discharge to 20%. So, I was wondering how I can turn off the PoE once in a while. Is this a possibility?

Again, not with such a non-manageable PoE switch.
What I don't know however is if these PoE adapters continue working without PoE power. This is something you need bro figure out with the vendor. Or try this: If the adapters work (mobile device powered) while connected to a non-PoE LAN port, for example direct on your router you know that looking for a PoE switch allowing PoE scheduling (but not bringing down the Ethernet ports!) can be considered.
