Alas this idea isn't going to work for me, it turns out that 24W is beyond the power budget of a single switch port (UniFi US-8 60W). Oh well, thanks to all for the info! Bruce.

Thanks for the info! I was missing the specs on the input power for the eisy. If and when I try this, I’ll report results back. I just happen to be putting my eisy in a place with plenty of POE ports (need to double check which variant of POE) but not a lot of electrical outlets. It’s not a requirement for me but it’d make some things easier. Bruce.

Just curious, has anyone tried powering an eisy using a POE splitter? Bruce.

As a former member of FreeBSD's release engineering team, you just made my day with that completely unexpected comment. ? Bruce.
