Orbi Pro SXR80 and SXS80 with POE injector / splitter
Hello all, I'm currently trying to connect my Orbi pro satellite SXS80 as follows: switch > POE injector > RJ45 cable > RJ45 patch bay ---- RJ45 wall outlet > RJ45 cable > POE splitter > Satellit...
SXK80 doesn't support PoE input.
the further you run power over ethernet cables, the more power you lose.
The SXS80 requires 42 watt from the power supply. it might not use all that but thats what it can put out on demand.
Not sure what POE injector you're using but if its supplying "just enough" when connected with just a short cable, the longer run and patch panels might be causing enough lose that it won't power it.
But if it runs off the injector/splitter directly connected or with a short cable but not with the extender run/patch panels, it tends to indicate thats where your power lose is coming from.
Hello plemans,
Thank you for your reply, I use simple passive POE injector/splitter with the power supply provided with the Orbi satellite/router.
I will try to find a more powerful POE injector and will keep you posted.
Thank you again.
Theo.
