What are the caps used for legacy detect?
Legacy detect/Cbad are 10uF.
Does PoE5 support multirate traffic- 2.5G, 5G, and 10G speeds?
As the data path is entirely passive, it supports 1G-10G traffic. All channels on all units are verified to provide a CAT-6A compliant data path before they leave the factory.
What is the capacitance on the load side ports?
Each port has 47uF of bulk capacitance connected to the PSE after the PoE class is negotiated. All detection criteria defined in section 145.2.6.3 of 802.3bt are preserved during detection and negotiation.
Can we use all 24 ports for PoE loading and passing traffic (as in port 1 to port 2, port 3 to port 4, etc.)?
All 24 ports are capable of providing load.
What PD IC’s will the new box be using?
Texas Instruments TPS2372. IEEE 802.3bt PoE High-Power PD Interface with Automatic MPS & Autoclass.
After issuing a command to turn on the load on one port, how long does it take to turn the port on? If loads on all 24 ports are turned on at the same time, how long does it take for all the loads to turn on and stabilize?
The load is designed to have a 4.7A/ms current slew rate. All 24 ports are designed to be able to come to full load from power good in under 150ms.
