Q: QuestionNETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE How many ports are POE AND HOW MENY WATS OF THE POTENCY EVERY PORT HAVE?

Asked 2 years ago by Abelardo.

• A:Answer It is NOT 30 watts per port. That is the max wattage a SINGLE port can deliver. This Netgear has a total power budget of 60 watts with the stock power supply. That's the maximum you can use across all ports. You can upgrade the total power budget to 90 watts or 130 watts with a different PSU module sold by Netgear. So technically if two of the ports use 30 watts each, you'll be maxed out with the stock power supply.

Q: QuestionNETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Are the PoE ports active or passive?

Asked 3 years ago by Mike.

• A:Answer Based on these quotes from Netgear's website it seems Active. "If your PoE device uses the PoE standard 48V 802.3af or 802.3at, it is considered to use active POE." ... "NETGEAR has made the choice to follow the standard for higher security and better ability to connect and communicate with PoE devices, as the large majority of PoE devices follow these standards. NETGEAR switches can power any 802.3af or 802.3at device of the market, making them the most flexible, secure and versatile PoE switches out there. Initially, it might seem like a good idea to opt for passive PoE over the industry-standard active PoE, but it could very well end up costing you a lot more, in the long run. The only way to ensure complete compatibility with the majority of PoE devices on the market is to stick with the industry standard, active PoE."
