Hi Guys,
I have some queries in relation to the Cisco IE 4000 switch.
At the moment we are ordering the following units.
IE-4000 - 4GC4GP4G-E Switches.
Along with the PWR-IE170W- PC-DC= power supply.
These units are being deployed underground.
My question is this.
The power supplies function seems to be to take between DC 12-54 V and convert it to 54VDC/3.15 Amps. Is it possible that if the electricians can supply the switch directly with the 54VDC, that we could simply not need the power supply? This would be a savings of about $1300 a cabinet?
Do these power supplies provide more than just converting the input to the required output? Do they do any power smoothing or any other functions i might be missing?
We do require the full POE budget as it is foreseeable that cameras and Ap's will be utilising these switches at some point?
I also have a question about the current setup , since it's been installed.
We have both power connections going from the switch A & B , to the same powersupply.
Is this the correct setup ? or is it more designed that the A\B switch connections are to be fed from a completely separate power supply \circuit?

Thanks for reading

Hi, John.
Reading the datasheet I checked that it is necessary to connect only one of the power connectors to the IE4000.
The second connector is for a second power source.
I'm working with the same set as you.
