Take note of the added comment on CRS112:

CRS112-8P-4S-IN can power 802.3af/at devices if 48-57 V DC input is used

But that power input is a separate purchase. Default it comes with 24V power adapter.

There is secondary DC jack on the back of the enclosure that supports 48-57 V power supply (not included, can be purchased separately - product codes 48POW (1.46A 70W) and 48V2A96W (2A 96W))
