Hi everyone,
being an electrical engineer I'd like to design my own IEEE 802.3af mode A compliant PoE injector, which– unlike all ready-to-buy devices I found out there – should accept 9V input voltage so that it could be powered from my pedal power supply.
If my injector should be able to provide the whole 15.4W as the IEEE standard requires, this would require a 9V supply delivering more than 2000mA, which is quite a lot for a pedalboard power supply. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual power consumption of the Remote would be a lot lower, this is why I would consider to limit the power that can be delivered to a senseful level.
Now as externally measuring the power consumption of a device powered via PoE is not really trivial, my question is: Has anyone ever used the Remote with a professional PoE switch that monitors power consumption of the devices attached and could give me some more insight regarding the real power consumption of the Remote?
