What about PoE for 10G Ethernet? I see that there are some vendors (e.g. Ubiquity) that are offering devices with it, but I don't see it in the standards?

My question is this: what would you plug into POE that would need 10gbe?

A multi-radio WiFi 8 AP?

an all nand-flash NAS ?

What if you need a small switch somewhere due to the runs otherwise being too long?

I had no idea it could supply 90 watts or so. At that point you could power some pretty powerful terminals.

The new 14” MacBook Pro comes with a 70 watt charger. An M4 Air only gets a 35 watt adapter.

Basically seems like enough power is available to run something pretty powerful.

I have a WiFi 6 AP that can saturate a 2.5GB link when I test it with two devices. So far, for me the peak speed for an individual device was around 1.6GB

I have not yet tested WiFi 7 APs, but they are supposed to be even faster. The use-case for me is video editing over WiFi (I do have a 10GBe Thunderbolt adapter but hey, I like wireless).

You would likely need fiber to saturate it...

Ubiquiti sells Wi-Fi access points with 10GbE uplink ports that are PoE powered: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wifi/products/e7

In theory at peak throughput the access point might use close to 10 gigabit. But definitely more than 1G/2.5G.

Another smaller switch closer to the location of your devices.

It's really ~71 watts on the device end (not counting any inefficiencies in the device itself). Still plenty powerful to do a lot with, but also more limiting. Especially if you don't already plan on having a built in battery to handle bursty workloads for whatever reason the device needed a 10G port for.
