Can you recommend a PoE passthrough device?
Hi, I have a single ethernet port in my office which has PoE power coming to it (the port is fed from a 24-port PoE switch in another room). Is there a device I can use to split the PoE port in m...
One of the very few devices allowing this is the Netgear GS105PE. Keep in mind PoE is strict class oriented (scratch any math of my AP does use say 12.7W and the like), if you need to operate a 802.11af Class 0 access point along with the switch which requires some power, too, you need a 802.11at (PoE+) power source from the existing switch.
FMI: https://kb.netgear.com/25541/GS105PE-PoE-troubleshooting - reading and understanding is mandatory.
The power required by the powered device (the switch, the AP, individually) is negotiated during the link establishment.
On a switch supporting 802.3at the port, the GS105PE will offer 802.3af on one port for the AP. Perfect simple set-up, nothing to worry.
Terrific! Thank you for your guidance. I ordered the GS105PE and am looking forward to getting it set up. Thanks again!
