Hi,
I'll be honest - I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to calculating voltages, current etc. I'm looking to power a POE hat for a Raspberry Pi with a POE injector but don't know which specs I need for the injector.
The POE hat accepts 37-57V DC and outputs 5V/2.5A DC. I don't know how many amps it accepts.
The POE injector I'm looking at provides 56V/1.1A DC.
I'm thinking that as the current provided by the injector is only 1.1A and the POE hat outputs 2.5A, the injector isn't providing nearly enough current, but for all I know there could be some conversion possible which ramps up the current by sacrificing voltage.
Any help would be appreciated because I'm utterly clueless!
