SW PoE 5-pin power wiring diagram

Dual redundant input is designated by +VA (pin 2) and +VB (pin 3):

  • Wire +VA or +VB pins to positive (+ve) output of power source
  • Wire -V pins (pins 1 & 4) to negative (-ve) output of power source
  • Earth connection can be wired to Earth pin (pin 5)
ParameterSpecification
Input Voltage Range (PoE)+44VDC to +57VDC
Input Voltage Range (PoE+)+50VDC to +57VDC
PSU Required< 100W
warning

Power source output voltage must be within PoE/PoE+ range: +44VDC to +57VDC. This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children are likely to be present.
