SESPM-2P-24V-CP Passive PoE Port Module
Option Quick Start Guide
The SESPM-2P-24V-CP is a Passive PoE Port Module to provide 24VDC power
over a 10/100/1000Base-T port. Alternatively, it could also be used to activate
a second 100/1000Base-X combo port (no passive PoE is provided over fiber). Note: Refer to the switch, module, and
attached device documentation for important related information.
Note: The SESPM-2P-24-CP is compatible with firmware versions 3.0.1 and later. It cannot be used with firmware
versions earlier than 3.0.1.
Note: On the SESPM1040-541-LT-PD version, the included combo port RJ-45 is used for receiving PoE input power to the
switch; therefore, the included combo port on the -PD version is not available unless the switch is being DC powered
over copper cable along with parallel fiber ("hybrid" or "composite cable") instead of PoE. The included combo port is
available on both the -AC and -DC powered versions of the switch.
Caution: The optional SESPM-2P-24V-CP provides secondary surge protection, but not primary or cross power
protection. So if using this module to connect to items outside the switch enclosure, users must provide the primary or
cross power protection.

Install Procedure
Caution: Passive PoE devices do not perform a signature detection / qualification check. You must know what PoE
voltage your attached device requires before plugging in the Ethernet cable and powering it up. Do not connect the
wrong voltage or you may cause permanent electrical damage to the attached device.
1. Install firmware version 3.0.1 (or later) on your SESPM1040-541-LT-xx switch. Note: The 24V Passive PoE Module is
not compatible with firmware versions earlier than 3.0.1.
2. Ensure the switch is powered off before installing the 24V Passive PoE Port Module.
3. See the
SESPM1040-541-LT-xx Install Guide
for important Cautions and Warnings.
4. Unpack the kit and verify the contents prior to sending to the install site.
5. Install provided Thermal Pad over the gold squared area directly under the module on the PCB.
6. Insert gold fingers of the 24V Passive PoE Port Module into M.2 socket on the switch board.
7. Secure the 24V Passive PoE Port Module by inserting SEMS screw and tightening gently.
8. Connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 jack to use for providing passive PoE over a 10/100/1000Base-T port.
Passive PoE Port module use pins 4 and 5 for the positive PoE voltage polarity and pins 7 and 8 for the negative
voltage polarity. Alternatively, insert an SFP module into the top SFP cage on the switch board to use as a
100/1000Base-X port (no passive PoE is provided over fiber).
