PoE Switch Budget Planner
Will this switch power everything on the drawing? Check port count, per-port capability, and total wattage.
01
Switch configuration
Enter the PoE ratings from your switch’s datasheet.
02
Device schedule
Group devices that use the same PoE type and wattage.

Subtotal120 W
03
Budget check
Updates as you make changes.
Over power budget
The switch has spare ports, but falls short on PoE power.

PoE port types meet the schedule.
PoE power reference
Use switch-side allocation when budgeting power. The wattage available at the device is lower after cable loss.
