The twisted- pair ports on the line card support Power over Ethernet (PoE). PoE is a mechanism by which the ports supply power to network devices over the twisted pair cables that carry the network traffic.

  • Page 74: Power Budget

    Chapter 2: Ethernet Line Cards Power Budget The power for PoE on the ports on the AT-SBx81GP24 Line Card is provided by the AT-SBxPWRPOE1 Power Supply. A single power supply can provide up to 1200 watts of power for powered devices. You may install two power supplies in the chassis for a total of 2400 watts for powered devices.
  • Page 75 SwitchBlade x8112 Chassis Switch and AT-SBx81CFC960 Card Installation Guide A. Power is transmitted on strands 1, 2, 3, and 6. Thus, the line card can support PDs that receive power using Alternative A. PDs that comply with the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards are required to support both power delivery methods.
