24 DC power supply for WS-6-MINI

Hello Group,
I'm trying to find a DC power supply for the WS-6-MINI switch. I have a 24vdc battery system at our comm tower. I've searched StreakWave but did not find a unit that matched the output of the suggested AC power supplies for that device.

The options suggested include:
TPDCDC2456GVHP
TP-DCDC-2448-HP
TPDCDC2448GDHP

Thanks in advance

You can feed the WS-6 43-56V so long as you understand whatever voltage you feed it will be handed out as the 48V POE option.

I would NOT get too close to 60V as that will damage the switch and probably whatever you are powering.

Based on you linking to PoE adapters I assume you want to power the MINI over PoE rather that through the barrel connector. How long is the CAT5 run between the power supply and the MINI? How many watts will you pull?

I have a MINI on the end of a 300 foot run that I power from a 50VH port on a WS-24. With a 20W load at the MINI, it reports 45.3V so seeing almost 5V drop. At 30W I see 44.2V. At 50W I am getting low voltage warnings or 41.9V so worst case is 9.1V drop. If I were to feed it with 56V, then at 20W I would probably be close to 51V on the MINI and at 50W it would probably be closer to 48V.
