Did you raise the amperage ratings for all switches?

I noticed that you've updated the PoE amperage specs for all the switches on the website...

The 24V & 48V options have gone from 0.75A to 1.0A and the 24VH & 48VH have gone from 1.5A to 2A !

Two questions:

1. Has there been a component change to facilitate the higher amperage rating or have you just determined that the original components are safe to run at the higher current?

2. If there has been a component change, when did this take place & is there a way to determine both from the web UI and by physically looking at a switch what PoE amperages it supports?


Thanks

Take a look here, feel like this might have your answer: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7335

1A is the maximum but we were afraid that is we put 1A people would push 1+ amps so we had it a .75A to give safety margin.

I just recently went back and changed all the web store values and have yet to go back and change the spec sheet.

So V ports are 1A and VH are 2A (provided the device takes power on all 4 pair like an AF)

24V is 24 watts or 1A
48V is 48 watts or 1A
24VH is 48 watts or 2A
48VH is 96 watts or 2A

Also keep in mind 48V and 48VH can vary between 48 and 50 volts.

Also keep in mind with the WS-8-150-AC we do not report watts per port so you need to calculate watts used and take into account cable length (loss).

That does explain it, thanks!
