Series 5400zl Switch
Figure 4-3. Example of a 5406zl with one power supply, J8713A
In this example there is one J8713A power supply supplying 900 watts for PoE
usage. Compared to the J8712A, one J8713A power supply can supply more
PoE wattage than two J8712As.
This configuration offers 116 ports of which all can be powered at 7.0 watts
each, and offers fiber optic gigabit connectivity.
If low wattage devices (4.0 watts) are connected to the switch, a 24 port
module could be installed in each of the six slots providing 144 ports and all
ports could be powered by a single J8713A power supply.
