Sophos CS101-8 Quick Start Guide

7. Connecting Power over Ethernet (PoE) Devices
All ports on PoE-capable switches can provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to a connected PoE device
which conforms with the 802.3af (max. 15.4W) or 802.3at (max.30W) standards. Each port can provide
up to a maximum of 30 Watts.
Please note: If the total power consumption of all PoE-powered devices exceeds the power budget of the
switch, the PoE Max LED will turn on. The port with the highest number and the lowest priority (according
to the per-port priority settings configured), will no longer receive power and the PoE Mode LED for that
port will be turned off.
To avoid such situations, Sophos recommends calculating the number of connected devices based upon
their max. power consumption (see table "interfaces" above).
