Power over Ethernet (PoE) power output

PoE devices can be powered via one of the RNS-8’s PoE ports, located on the bottom connector row on the rear of the unit. PoE ports can be easily identified via their red locking nuts.

Note

  • The PoE devices should be connected using RayNet to RayNet cables or RayNet to RJ45 cables. For more information on the cabling required, refer to the documentation supplied with your PoE device.

  • Any suppression ferrites supplied with the powered device must be used on the network cable connecting the powered device to the network switch.

  • In order to sufficiently power PoE devices, the network switch’s power supply must exceed 10.8 V dc.
