Yeah, agreed. If I'm reading it right and they're putting the TV on PoE too, they're way out of the power budget which is only 30 watts per port.

And I say this as someone who's currently going nuts with PoE going to home automation (speakers, cameras, soil monitor sensors, sprinkler relays, etc).

Clarification there: I have a US-8 behind each TV, taking 802.11af loads to power. For the TV with an AP or something else PoE behind it, those switches can take in 802.11at and output 802.11af on port 8. The TVs themselves aren’t PoE...I’m crazy, just not that crazy :)

Lol, word, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the clarification! : )

IEEE 802.3bt is supposed to be good for 50-90W.
