I need to connect up to sixteen phones per building, I can use a cheap hub, but POE would be useful. Is there a cheap POE hub available? Everything I have seen has been expensive. Chris Mason
The cheapest I have found was a 3COM 24 Port for $799.00.

Yep, POE has turned out to be a real fizzer. Whilst a great idea for Access Points (particularly ceiling mounted AP's so you don't need to run power points) but apart from that the whole concept has just died.

If you do, beware the attenuation of a long ethernet run. That said, spending the time to wire up 16 ports may make a refurbed Cisco sound cheaper. /rg

Lucky I did, because it turns out they are not compatible! It seems the 3Com POE switches will only power 3Com devices. Instead, I ordered a bunch of PowerDsine injectors which work fine, and power a much greater range of devices. Regards -- Chris Hills IT Services North East Worcestershire College

Everything I > have seen has been expensive.Hope you really meant a cheap switch... you don't want to use hubs of any sort in the asterisk environment since hubs are limited to half-duplex ethernet connections. Check the NetGear stuff. I believe someone indicated they are selling a poe switch for something like $400.
D-Link makes a whole line of them. http://www.provantage.com/YDLNS046.htm On 5/15/05, Chris Mason <lists@masonc.com> wrote:> I need to connect up to sixteen phones per building, I can use a cheap hub, > but POE would be useful.

Moreover, The FS108P can only power 4 ports simultaneously.

Well, I dont know the model numberr of the 3com poe hub that I used but it worked just fine with the polycom ip phones.

That being said, it's important to look at the spec as advertised on the tech brief whether it's 'af' compliant or not. I think Cisco phones, for example, are oddballs. Also, power draw is a concern. My 3com will shut down the port whenever there is > 14w draw per port. My Mitels push it.
