PoE power on HPE switches

[Joshua Kaplan_1]

I have a project for which I need PoE power.

Originally, I chose the 3500yl 48 port switch, but it turns out that it does not supply enough power.

I cannot find clear specs to answer these questions, so I am asking here.

What is the maximum per-port voltage and wattage supplied in the 3500yl-48 and 2620-48 switches ?

Are there other switches that can provide more ?

Is there CX4 connectivity for the 2620 switch ?

Does the external power supply provide more voltage and/or wattage to either of the above switches ?

The 3500 supports PoE+ and provides just under 400W of PoE.

40x Class II PoE devices = 280 W

That has always been enough power for me.

I've never factored in PoE+ needs though, usually you only have about 2 devices that need PoE+ per switch, and this is better served via power injector than by buying 48 switchports that can potentially support them (46 of which never will need to).

Thank you for the reply..

I am still missing the information I need.

For each of the 3500yl and 2620, I need to know the maximum per-port wattage and voltage supplied, whether that increases if an external supply like the HPE630 increases those numbers.

Unfortunately, the published documentation is hugely unclear about this, but I was hoping that someone would actually know this.

Separately, I need to confirm whether the 2620 has a CX4 connectivity option.
