I’ve got a pretty old HP 1910-8G-PoE+ (180W) switch running 2 x UniFi u7 pro access points in my house.
It’s always been pretty loud but it’s in my garage so I’ve never cared about that, but it’s recently made me think about power consumption..
Took a look at the data sheet, and it’s showing the below:
Power consumption (typical) 228 W
Power over Ethernet (PoE) * ✔
Total Power over Ethernet (PoE)
budget 180 W
Now
when you’re looking at ‘typical’ is that idle with no ports being used?
It’s an old switch so it wouldn’t surprise me but 228 seems excessive for an 8 port switch with no ports active.
