PSX8 PoE+ Switch
The PSX8 rackmount switch is a professional solution for powering large numbers of PoE devices. With 10 x 2.5 Gigabit POE+ Ethernet ports (up to 30W) and a PoE budget of 130W, it can comfortably power 802.3af/at devices at the same time. It has a maximum switching capacity of 40 Gbps.
How many devices can be powered?
The Plasma Cloud PSX8 switch supports PoE standards 802.3af and 802.3at. 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 and 802.3at 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 PSX8 can power up all the PAX1800 connected to all its Ethernet ports (8), despite the PoE 802.3at standard defining a power consumption of 30 W.
Mounting Options
The included mounting brackets offer to mount the PSX8 onto a rack or wall. It also can be positioned on a desk or shelf.
