Probably.
It occurs to me to wonder why no one makes, say, a 24 port POE switch
with only enough full power budget for 4-6 ports, *but binding posts on the
back for -48*, so if you need to build a Really Big Switch, you can just
feed it from as big a rectifier/battery stack as you want.
Or *is* there one, and I just haven't come across it yet? :-)
