PoE, IEEE standards, max power


 

Hi All,

I am currently looking into Power over Ethernet so I can remove my 12V cable.

My concern is about max power, there are four standards, latest one allows to provide 100W.

I found a passive PoE splitter/injector kit, but I failed to find what standard it is and so if it can handle the power I need:?https://www.digitus.info/de/produkte/aktive-netzwerkkomponenten/power-over-ethernet-poe/poe-splitter/dn-95001/?PL=en

I have a 146W 12V adapter and I estimate my power usage to be around 100W.

Do any of you have been experimenting with PoE ? What do you think, is it feasible ?

Many thanks,

Cheers and CS!

100W at 12V is 8.3A. I seriously doubt that you can pass anywhere close to that much current through the small conductors of an Ethernet cable of any appreciable length without excessive heating and voltage drop.

I do not have actual PoE experience but unless there is an active voltage step up / step down process involved (to reduce the current for a given transmitted power), it is simple ohms law.

PoE is 44V for a start, and all but the latest versions are limited to 15 or 25W maximum.?? Great for powering PoE micro controllers (will the RPi run off PoE?).

?

Useless for powering the Gemini-2 and the mount though for which a 12V minimum (ideally 15-18V) supply that¡¯s capable of 3A without breaking a sweat is needed.

Thanks for your answers.

I read 9-56V, up to 100W. But yes I too doubt it would be safe.

I'll keep my 12V cable, let's try and keep stars in the sky :')

I agree Carl, you don't want a miniature Super Nova in your cable....

My first thought was how would that effect your data traveling along the same path?
Heat, magnetics, and such.
Shucks, I use two power cables to my little rig. One for the Gemini II, and a separate one for the telescope needs.
Just so the mounts operations (amperage draws and variations) don't draw down on the USB hub and cameras needs (AKA: Mission critical power needs).
