I have this werid use case:

Can I power a WS-6-Mini via a toughswitch pro(48V) and then power a second WS-6-Mini via the first WS-6-Mini using the 48vh setting?

Thanks

It is not advisable to power the Mini with only half the pairs. Do you plan to power anything else?

Is the 3 switch chain an attempt to extend the 100 meter limit to 400 meters?

Explain what you need to accomplish and we may have some other ideas.

Ok thanks for the feedback.

I am trying to solve an immediate problem caused by the lack of inventory (Netonix 12 port and air fiber power supplies) at my distributor.

I have a toughswitch(TS) in place powering 3 devices with 48volt and 4 links to other device(no power)

I need more ports. Mini 1 ( about a meter away from the TS) would power a point to point bridge(24v) and mini 2 would be located about 20meters away to power some two other 24 v devices. I have only one cable run between Mini 1 and Mini 2.

Ideally I would replace the TS with a Netonix 12 port and power the Mini 2 48VH via the single cable.

Thanks

OK, the short runs should prevent much voltage drop but you lose 1.4V on the diodes of each MINI. Time to do the math then. I think each MINI uses around 5W-6W and I don't know what your backhaul will use. The TS8-Pro with 48V out is 23W.
