R850 802.3bt compatibility?

[sgg222]

Hi,

I'd like to know if R850 can be powered by 802.3bt switch and has all features enabled?

Background information:

1) The datasheet only mentions PoH and UPoE but not 802.3bt.

2) Ruckus POE power doc refers to 802.3bt Class 5: https://docs.commscope.com/bundle/zd-10.4.1-userguide/page/GUID-3BAA5DD1-7DA9-4D05-A04C-03711E073C12...

It's confusing a bit. Can R850 negotiate 802.3bt Class 5 on switches that only support 802.3bt and not UPoE/PoH?

Hi @stkasm82,

R850 APs indeed support BT Power upto Class-5 (Upto-35W). If the PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) is capable of Type-3 BT, then the max power negotiable is upto 60W. Meaning the switch with just BT power should support Class-5 BT PD (Powered Devices).

About the data sheet we will update it at the earliest.

Hope this answers your query.

I need help finding a poe injector that will put my r850 at full power so i can use the WIFI6 feature. These are the 2 sets i have tried. TRENDnet Gigabit PoE++ Injector, Convert A Non-PoE Port to A PoE++ Gigabit Port, PoE. LINOVISION Gigabit 90W 802.3bt PoE Injector, Compatible with Standard and Legacy Non-Standard PD Device, PoE++ Injector for High Power Consumption PTZ Camera, VoIP Phone. This is the first time chatgpt4 has apologized to me for being wrong twice. can someone point me to the right ones.
