NetMedia POEmax-8000 User Manual

Unique PoE-Powered Switch

POEmax

The NetMedia® POEmax™ Series eight-port network switches have up to seven Power over Ethernet (PoE)
outputs. The number of PoE devices that they can run depend on the model, how much current each device
requires, and on the power supply used for the POEmax. The 100 Watt (W) model supplies enough power for
seven devices to draw the maximum load (13W each). The 50W models run four or seven devices in any combi­nation that does not exceed a total of 47W. All POEmax models include a unique PoE-Powered capability so that
PoE output models can redistribute up to 10W among the devices. From cubicles and ceilings to server and print
rooms, POEmax’s small size, flexibility and durability makes it perfect for IP cameras (iViewHD), VoIP phones, data
extension, and standard TCP/IP home or office building infrastructure.

Setup Procedures:

If using a power supply, connect the 48V DC power transformer to the POEmax Power Input connector. Connect
the other end of the power transformer to an AC outlet (Figure 1). The POEmax switch will now operate as PoE
Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).

If PoE-Powered, then connect a PSE such as another PoE switch or a PoE injector to POE IN Port 8 (Figure 2). The POEmax
switch will now operate as a PoE-Powered Device (PD). POE OUT models can rebroadcast PoE power to other PD’s.

POEmax requires 3 Watts (W) for itself. POE OUT models will split any remaining power among all its PoE ports:
47W with 50W power supply; 97W with 100W power supply; up to 10W when PoE-Powered.

PoE power availability declines over distance. When PoE-Powered, POEmax can rebroadcast 10W PoE power
from 13W PoE input as long as the cable distance from the PSE to the PD (with POEmax somewhere in the
middle) is 50 feet or less. This is enough power to run for example, four iViewHD cameras (2.5W each).
