between the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) and powered device (PD) for available power, nor do they
monitor the power drawn and shut down if an overload or open circuit condition occurs. These passive
injectors and switches can be used with Stewart Audio PoE amplifiers, however safe operation is not
assured under these conditions.
One final note: According to the 802.11 standard, an 802.3at (PoE+) PD (powered device) can be
connected with to an 802.3af (PoE) PSE. Stewart Audio PoE+ amplifiers adhere to the standard, so it is
possible to run these PoE+ amplifiers from PoE PSE’s. But since the PoE PSE can only deliver 15.4W
maximum per port (vs. 30W for the PoE+), the amplifier cannot deliver the full specified audio power
without causing the PSE power to shut down power to the port and renegotiate the powered
connection. The same is true for the PoE++ amplifiers. They will operate with a PoE or PoE+ PSE, but at
lower power levels.
