PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices such as OmniStream Encoders and Decoders typically consume 15.4 W each. It is important to consider how many PoE devices you wish to power when choosing a network switch for your project.
Atlona sells pre-configured Cisco SG350X-48MP and SG350X-24MP switches ready for OmniStream.
See this table below for these switches' maximum PoE budget:
|
Model |
Power Dedicated to PoE |
Number of Ports That Support PoE |
|
SG350X-24MP |
382W |
24 (4 support 60W PoE) |
|
SG350X-48MP |
740W |
48 (8 support 60W PoE) |
The SG350X-48MP has a total 740W PoE budget and supports powering up a standard PoE device consuming 15.4 W on each of its 48 ports.
The SG350X-24MP has a total 382W PoE budget and supports powering up a standard PoE device consuming 15.4 W on each of its 24 ports.
Cisco also sells the SG350X-24P and SG350X-48P, and our Certified Configurations for OmniStream will work on these switches. However, it is important to consider the PoE budget of these switches.
See this table below for these switches' maximum PoE budget:
|
Model |
Power Dedicated to PoE |
Number of Ports That Support PoE |
|
SG350X-24P |
195W |
24 (4 support 60W PoE) |
|
SG350X-48P |
382W |
48 (8 support 60W PoE) |
The SG350X-48P has a total 382W PoE budget and supports powering up a standard PoE device consuming 15.4 W on only half of its 48 ports.
The SG350X-24P has a total 195W PoE budget and supports powering up a standard PoE device consuming 15.4 W on only half of its 24 ports.
As you can see in the examples above, considering the PoE budget is crucial to determining the correct network switch for your OmniStream project.
