Power requirements?

Post by Jay »

I dug thru the Wiki and did not find any info about the power requirements for this BCS. Is there a wall wort that comes with the BCS? Can PoE be used to power the BCS, how sweet would THAT be?

The BCS comes with a wall wort. Unfortunately it doesn't support Power over Ethernet. I agree, that would be very cool.

Specs of the transformer:
in: 110-120V AC, 50-60 Hz
out: 6V DC, 1 amp.

Although the wall wort can supply upto a maximum of 6W, in practice the BCS-460 uses around a watt.

that's well within the PoE supplied power.

Then again, not everyone has a PoE switch at home....
