Instead of going through an inverter and using a standard ethernet switch with PoE that you can get at a big box store, I was thinking of using one of these DC powered network switches:
or this
to provide network capability for cameras and a wifi point to point connection back to the house from my barn, in which I am setting up solar.
Being that a regular AC->DC power supply will handle (limit) inrush current for many household electronics, does anyone know what I should do in this case, where I connect the device to the battery through a circuit breaker? The breaker will normally handle a short inrush burst and not trip, but would the device itself handle the inrush? Are they built to handle it themselves, or am I worrying too much?
I may need to do a pre-charge setup with a resistor....
I know some of you will say to contact the manufacturer, but if anyone has experience with this, I'd appreciate any insight, thanks.
