Note:
We recommend that you use a Category 5e (Cat 5e) cable or a higher
rated cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
This switch is designed for indoor use only. If you want to connect it to a device
located outdoors, the outdoor device must be properly grounded and surge
protected, and you must install an Ethernet surge protector inline between the
switch and the outdoor device. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
3. Connect to power and check the LEDs
When you connect the power adapter to the switch and plug the power cable
into an electrical outlet, the LEDs indicate the status.

30W PoE to each port, with a PoE power budget of 63W and 83W respective to
each model across all active PoE ports.
