Hi @RSCW 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

It does not work if you plug the PoE++ in its 5 port?

If you have other POE devices connected to the switch while maintaining the PoE++ on the #5 IN, will they get power stably?

I think that might be dynamic tuning. It would not also draw 60W power from your PoE++ and only doing that when other PoE ports are used.

It seems like no matter how I power this device (802.3at, 802.3af,802.3bt) they all only allow a POE budget of 6.0 watts and shows the red POE Warning in the controller. It would be nice to know what's going on here before I send them all back.

It looks like a visual bug for the controller. I have feedback on this and yet have not received a reply. This is a new model where it might not be optimized well. Recently, we have many more new models arriving. It might take some time to make them adapt well to the controller.

If you don't run into any issues with the use, you can keep it and wait for the future firmware update to fix this.

  Hopefully it's a firmware issue and not a hardware issue.  I understand this is a brand new item, but would have thought there would have been more testing before releasing.  I did confirm with a second identical switch, and have tried different POE input methods, with all the same result.  The switch will not power more than one POE device.  If I plug a second device (poe camera), the switch does not provide power to that second device, unless I unplug the first device (another POE camera), then the second device will power on.  Please keep me updated on a fix, as these were going to be for my next large project, which I will have to put on hold, or order the Unifi (Flex) equipment instead.  

What's the Omada switch you tried?

Based on the email conversation with the dev and test team, we tested SG3206HPP with SG2005P-PD, and the 2005P-PD can successfully sync to 802.3 bt and give power to other devices.

So, we assume it is still a problem with the cable leading to a bad sync in PoE.

Need the following information:

1. Use show power inline to collect the real power budget. CLI.

2. Swap with a different cable.

3. No matter what kind of adapter you tried, even with the Omada switch which supports PoE+, it always shows the PoE Max light?

4. Controller version. The model number of the PSE you have tried.

Did some more testing this week.  After factory resetting this SG2005P-PD switch and readopting, it functioned normally when powered by an Omada TL-SG2210P POE switch (not a BT).  It shows proper POE budget.  However it will still not provide a proper POE budget when powered by the POE++ injectors.  I've tried a Ubiquiti 50v 60w injector, and a Ubiquiti 54v 80w injector.  The SG2005P-PD always shows "max" POE light.  I know it is not an issue with my cable or POE injectors, because if I simply unplug the SG2005P-PD and plug in a Unifi Flex switch (same type of switch) it powers perfectly and allows full POE budget to all 4 ports.  I even tried a similar "dumb" switch with the same proper results.  Hopefully there's a fix soon, as my "return" window is closing soon.  

If you say so, it might be a compatibility issue. I'll report this to the dev and see how they respond to this.

Hi @RSCW 

Here's the followup.

So our dev thinks that might be an issue with the UNBT injectors. Our SG2005P-PD only supports standard PoE while the the injectors you used seems to be not standard IEEE 802.11bt. To prevent damage to the SG2005P-PD, it does not allow the power.

The dev team said they'll purchase two of these for further analysis.

If you don't want to wait for the results and miss your return window, you might decide to return. Till we get a final result of this, you can keep your money at least.

Update in Jan 24th:

In addition, the reason why it shows you have 6-7W left in the budget is because the non-standard PoE works in a similar way as the IEEE 802.3af, so it only provides around 15W max. After deducting the power consumption of the switch(SG2005P-PD), it left with that amount of power. So that's why is shows up like that and you cannot have other devices connected to draw power from it.
 

So, if you need to use this model, please make sure your PoE injector is giving standard IEEE 802.3bt which can work with our switch correctly.

Thanks for your understanding.
