Two similar questions:

Surge suppressors can blow ports.� If you have a surge, the surge protector will clamp all the Ethernet lines to ground.� That shorts them all together and grounds them.� That will also blow some POE ports. So you need surge protectors to protect things from surges, but you need fuses to protect the POE source from the surge protector.� Learned this the hard way.

So for a Netonix, do we just need the fuse or do we need the surge arrestor card as well?

        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.
