Hello hshah96, 

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

The none-PoE device(s) will not be affected, the PoE ports are auto-sensing  and it detects if a device supports 802.3at or 802.3af (PoE Standards). If the switch detects that a device does not support the standards mentioned, it will not send power and will just work as a regular ethernet port. 

 

Let us know if you have more questions. 

 

Thanks,
