Do the fuses protect against the same things as the surge protectors?
Or do you need those in line also?

I'm sure you already thought about this, but is it possible to make a
device that recovers automatically after the short circuit has ended
while also responding fast enough to protect the port?
Is it a case where it's possible but costs too much?

We have been shipping for months.
The cost of having a Netonix port repaired is more than the cost of
the fuse.
And then there is the labor and downtime and other intangible expenses
involved in blowing a port.
The prices are lower if you buy from one of my distributors. I don't
encourage anyone to buy off my ecommerce site and pay full list price.
That site is only there to generate sales for distributors.
All of my products have prices based on cost plus margin. Same
formula across the board pretty much. I try to have unique products
you can't get other places. If volume increases on a product, I
sometimes adjust the price down due to the fact that my costs come
down. For example, if I am buying 1000 surge protector PCBs, I may be
paying $1 for each. But if I am only buying 100 of them it may be $2.50.
I recently adjusted the cost down on my 8 circuit tower surge
protector for exactly this reason. Volume picked up, I worked on
sourcing and buying and was able to drop the list price considerably
and still maintain my margins.

Hi Chuck,
Great to hear about the new product, the POE Fuse.
Question & critique.
When are these going to be available ?
We would like to see these priced a bit more aggressive...
(At the current pricing, the cost of fusing multiple ports appears to
be exceeding the cost of 'poe switch' it is protecting ! )
Regards.
