Re: [802.3_PDCC] Update to BS7671 comments



Chad – reading this text, I see something further when one talks about eliminating PoE. We must consider the alternative.  Can you find a way to include the below?:

 

The alternative for most devices (APs, IP Phones, etc.) is to have an external class 2 power supply that connects to an outlet and then supplies the same class 2 power that would have been delivered over PoE to the access point/ip phone/whatever-device.  The result is a system with 2 connectors, not one (the connector to the AC outlet and the connector for the class 2 power to the device), which is introducing an ‘always hot’ class 2 circuit into the environment (from the outlet to the device), as well as potentially a source of sparks or shocks both at the outlet and at the device/hot-plug class 2 interface.  In contrast, the PoE interface, which by specification will not present a voltage capable of more than a very small current until the load is confirmed and identified, is less hazardous.

All, I met with Geoff today (as we agreed to take something offline to not slow down the PDCC meeting). As a result, I’ve made some additions to the comment against 716.419.3.3 in the document. The comment doc can be found here: https://www.ieee802.org/3/ad_hoc/PDCC/public/BS7671%20comments.pdf
