PoE considerations
The PoE and PoE+ power supplied by the switch is prioritized in this ascending
port order:
• GS324P. Ports 1–16 support PoE and PoE+ with a total power budget of
190W.
• GS324PP. Ports 1–24 support PoE and PoE+ with a total power budget of
380W.
If the power requirements for the attached powered devices (PDs) exceed
the total power budget of the switch, the PD on the highest-numbered port
is disabled to make sure that the PDs connected to the higher-priority, lower-

Many PDs require less power, potentially allowing more PoE ports to be active
simultaneously.

maximum cable length of 328 feet (100 meters).
