Power supply in the multimedia distributor

You buy yourself a 240€ switch, but you don’t get the maybe suitable power strip, which you already mentioned yourself above, to try it out? Otherwise, I would do it like Rick. Although I would seriously think twice about putting a PoE switch in such a closed multimedia box. It’s bound to get quite warm.

What’s with the whataboutism?
I’m not buying “a 240€ switch” but a 240€ switch. And I even have a similarly expensive grammar book-.–
I also don’t need unsolicited advice about the switch’s heat dissipation, especially not from someone who obviously has no clue. Neither about the mounted door, nor the planned consumers, nor the technology in general.

What I’m not buying is, on suspicion, a 40€ module plus shipping costs with considerable delivery time and significant shipping and possibly return shipping effort for a box that doesn’t even belong to me. I want or wanted to inform myself first. (A quality that also enables me economically to buy any number of 240€ switches.) But thanks for the suggestion.

Then I want to reveal it here, maybe it will help someone in the future.

The reducing caps in the power strip are glued. I got one of them out with massive force. Schuko plugs can then be extended, protective conductor connected, works:




In contact with various dealers, it has become clear that there is an old revision of this power strip with glued caps and a new revision with removable caps. The new revision is not reliably available. The manufacturer doesn’t know anything about it, nor does my electrician :D
Anyway, the problem is solved, and that’s what counts.
