eggzlot Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 https://www.poetexas.com/collections/all-products/ports_24-port Get 3-4 proper spec’d Midspans. Then you can use any switch. most normal PoE switches have a max power draw. So a typical (again not all) 48 port PoE doesn’t mean all 48 ports are PoE. The overall switch has a max wattage and once that is used up that’s it let The Midspan handle your power needs. They make smaller ones so can get a few 24 port and then 16 port etc. can span them over a few server racks for flexibility etc msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Network switches are pretty cheap if you don't have to worry about the POE capabilities. Does using a midspan create any problems with delay or communication?

Contact that company from the link I posted. You can send them all the specs of all of your hardware and they will tell you what you need. Fantastic customer service No delay issues at all. I use a 16 port one for my cameras and touch screens. Works just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
