The netPower 16p switch (CRS318-16P-2S+OUT) specifies a max power consumption of 316W. However, the two 48V power supplies (48POW, 48V2A96W) provided by Mikrotik only supply 70W or 96W. And even the MTP250-53V47-OD power supply only provides up to 250W, which is significantly lower than 316W.
48POW: 48V x 1.46A = 70W
48V2A96W: 48V x 2A = 96W
MTP250-53V47-OD: 53V x 4.7A = 250W
How are these power supplies sufficient to power the netPower 16p? If the POE output is loaded to the max, wouldn't the power supply be insufficient using these Mikrotik power supplies? If I'm powering a lot of POE devices, it seems that I may run into issues.
The netPower 16p specs states "DC jack input Voltage: 18-30 V / 48-57 V" but the current requirements are not specified for the dc adapter. Does anybody know how I could determine whether a third party dc adapter provides a high enough current output? I'm looking into dc adapters from other vendors but I don't want to damage the netPower 16p by using a dc adapter that does not supply high enough current output. For example, I'm looking at the Veracity 57V power supply that provides a current output of 1500mA: https://www.veracityglobal.com/media/14 ... _dv1.3.pdf.
Thanks for providing some advice on this. My main concern is what if the current output of any power adapter is too low for the power consumption of the netPower 16p (i.e., max power consumption of 316W)? Will this damage the switch?
