Solution elvisimprsntr Posted April 8, 2023 Solution Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) DISCLAIMER Use at your own peril. If you are considering installing in a cabinet/junction box, make sure there is adequate ventilation.

bmah Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 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. Link to comment
Brian H Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Verify the POE source voltage. The eisy is strictly 12V DC from what I saw on its sales page. Link to comment

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. Link to comment
