Determining the Power over Ethernet (PoE) budget for a network switch is essential for network planning, especially when deploying devices that rely on PoE for power, such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. This guide will direct you to find the PoE budget information for Zyxel switches.

2. Filter PoE Standards:

On the switch page, scroll down to the "Majority PoE Port Standard" section and select the PoE standard that applies to your needs, such as 802.3at on the left menu.

3. Select a Switch Model:

4. View Specifications:

On the model’s page, navigate to the Specifications tab from the menu to access detailed information.
