FAQ
What PoE budget is listed?
370W total.
What uplinks are listed?
2 × 10G SFP+.
24TD vs 48LPD?
24TD is data-only 24 ports. 48LPD is 48 PoE+ ports with a watt budget.
What belongs on the RFQ?
Exact PID, watt plan, optics, stack needs, quantity, destination.
Does it stack?
FlexStack-Plus capable — confirm stack module and cables on the quote.
Is 370W enough for dense APs?
Only if the watt plan fits. If endpoints exceed 370W, quote a higher-budget PID.
