PSX28 PoE++ Switch
The PSX28 rackmount switch is a professional solution for powering large numbers of PoE devices. With 24 x 2.5 Gigabit POE++ Ethernet ports (up to 90W) and a PoE budget of 400W, it can comfortably power 802.3af/at/bt devices at the same time. The 4 SFP+ transceiver slots offer 10 Gbps connectivity per slot to the fiber optic network. The 200 Gbps switching capacity enables maximum Gigabit throughput on all Ethernet and SFP++ ports without bottlenecks.
How many devices can be powered?
The Plasma Cloud PSX28 switch supports PoE standards 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt. Each port is capable of detecting the PoE standard required by the connected device. It is therefore possible to power a mixture of 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt devices.
The amount of power supplied to each PoE port can vary considerably, depending on the power consumption of the connected device. To give an example: although the PAX1800 uses the 802.3at PoE standard, its actual power consumption ranges from 5W (just running) to 13W (heavy user load and long cable length). Consequently, a PSX28 can power up to 24x PAX1800s, despite the PoE 802.3at standard defining a power consumption of 30 W.
Mounting Options
The included mounting brackets offer to mount the PS24 onto a rack or wall. It also can be positioned on a desk or shelf.
