Switch with poe & SFP

I need a switch with SFP, poe in and at lease 3 poe out. The only device I’ve found is RB260GSP.
Is there any newer model for my requirements? Because this one seams pretty old to me. There are a lot of newer options, but as I understand, none of them has multiple PoE out and poe-in simultaneously. :frowning:

PoE-in and multiple PoE-out are in reality exclusive … PoE-in simply doesn’t have capacity to provide power for multiple PoE-out ports. If you drop this requirement, then there are many devices which cover the rest of requirements, check the list of switches and lok for “xxP” in the model name (P stands for PoE-out gigabit port).

Thank you!
So you mean, I would not be able to power say 3 cAP ax over PoE using RB260GSP if the switch it salves powered with PoE-in?

This largely depends on switch providing PoE to RB960GSP … one thing you have to keep in mind is voltage rating, it accepts 11-30V (so 802.3 af/at is out of question). If you go with 24V … then 3 cAP ax devices use up to 10W each and 5W the switch, total around 35W which is roughly 1.5A (at mentioned 24V). And that exceeds capability of most of PoE-out devices by MT. As I see it the only option is to use 24V 2A power adapter and RBGPOE PoE injector (which is rated at 2A).

the 5009 could be a good option as it has the 2 pin DC power on it, I have heard of customers that will use 2 wires form the Ethernet to send the power through if they do not need the gigabit link?

If you’re looking just for a switch, check out https://mikrotik.com/product/css610_8p_2s_in with total poe-out power of 140W
Otherwise you could use https://mikrotik.com/product/rb5009upr_s_in with total poe-out power of 130W, but ROS support and more powerful CPU

CSS610 does not has PoE-In, but RB5009UPr+S+IN is looking perfect!

The RB960PGS does support 12-57 V (802.3af/at) as POE in:

So if you are able to provide it with 48V on the POE in port it will do (at a lesser price than the RB5009).

@mkx, am I missing something?

RB5009UPr+S+IN poe-out depends on power via 2-pin connector or DC-jack. PoE-in is only for running unit itself.

cAP packages were comming with PoE injectors and power blocks included, at least in previous years.

No, you're right. Seems I was looking at specs for hEX PoE lite when writing my post :blush:
