Thank you using our PoE Calculator.
Please refer to your PoE Lighting and Automation Vendor’s Tools for Final Calculation
Let us help you calculate your PoE budget by Powered Device (PD) and for a Power Supplying Equipment (PSE).

Instructions for use:
Step 1 – Pick your PoE Standard. Don’t know what they mean? Check out our Dictionary.
Step 2 – Either select your cable type, our values match industry standard, or look it up yourself under the DCR of your cable and put it in the Alternate Ohms/1000 ft field.
Step 3 – Pick your voltage. You’ll want to check your datasheets for IEEE compliant products because they can range from 44 to 56 volts.
Step 4 – Find power consumption for your PD. You’ll normally find it in the datasheet like this one:
