Would such PoE configuration work?

\----- 220V ----- RB260GSP --\

                                                             \------ PoE -----> RB951Ui-2HnD

yes, surely

…except that the 260 in the middle, including its clients, shall not draw more power than it is allowed for a single PoE output port (1 amp if I remember correctly) :slight_smile:

500mA, to be precise.

So… will this current be sufficient to power both RB260GSP and RB951Ui-2HnD?

500mA???

MAX 1A x PORT!!!

The RB260GSP want 250mA
The RB951Ui-2HnD want 300mA

And if you not put on PoE out more device than writed before, is 550mA and all is working.

The RB951Ui-2HnD do not power more device, right? (The RB951Ui-2HnD support only 500mA max on PoE out!!!)
