A dual-band 802.11ac AP must be powered by PoE. As a class 4 device, what power level should be received at the AP?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

PoE has different standards that define different power levels for PSEs and PDs. The original standard, IEEE 802.3af, defines two classes of PSEs: Class 3 (15.4 W) and Class 4 (30 W). The newer standard, IEEE 802.3at, also known as PoE+, defines four classes of PSEs: Class 0 (15.4 W), Class 1 (4 W), Class 2 (7 W), and Class 3 (12.95 W). The power level received at the PD is always lower than the power level provided by the PSE, due to cable resistance and power dissipation. The IEEE standards specify the minimum power level that must be received at the PD for each class of PSE.For a Class 4 PSE, the minimum power level received at the PD is 25.5 W910.Reference:CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 7: Power over Ethernet (PoE), page 295;CWNA-109 Study Guide, Chapter 7: Power over Ethernet (PoE), page 289.

Yeah, 30 W makes sense for dual-band APs!

I thought it was 15.4 W? Seems off.

Definitely 25.5 W, that’s the right power level.

I believe it’s 30 W, but I might be mixing it up with another class. I need to double-check!

I’m a bit confused; I thought class 4 was 15.4 W, but that seems too low for a dual-band AP.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the answer was 25.5 W for class 4 devices.

I think a class 4 device like this AP should receive around 30 W, but I'm not entirely sure.
