[bluesea2010]

Hi,

As i understand from the below table the 8x8 radio will function even with poe+ , why third row show  upoe 

what is the purpose of upoe here then ? 

Thanks

As per my understanding PoE+ delivery maximum 30W, UPoE (PoE++) Delivery 60W.

if you do not use USB, it will not required more, but POE++ (UPOE) can be used for other devices in the network, where they required to connect like any PoD/CCTV/small compute system/ PoS

Just turn off USB.

Hi @Leo Laohoo 

I know this for zigbee and ble connection , but the cisco  9130 has integrated zigbee and ble . that was my question 

second is it true  thing poe + is giving power between  20 wats and 30 wats 

for 8:8x8 radios require 25 wats, is it possible  AP will draw always above 25 wats  or any possibilities it will go below 25 wats ?

Thanks

Zigbee is software disabled in the AP because there is "no demand" to get them enabled.  

Biggest users of Zigbee are hotels.  Upgrading APs is not a priority -- Trying to "stay afloat" is.  

Remember:  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

We have several 9130 in our network.  If I disable USB, the AP will draw up to 30.0wac and the WLC is reporting them as "full power".

Keyword you need to "disable USB port in each AP"

USB port is there is each AP because Cisco wants to support Application hosting in 9100 series AP's.

Even without  upoe catalyst 9130axi can turn all 8x8 radios ?

Thanks
