P148 / Ethernet and PoE / Guide

Network evidence: unknowns, conflicts and reference reports

A documented model, port role, rate or budget is not a verified physical connection.

The useful distinction

Read the exact model and port labels; do not infer network or power capabilities from the modular outline.

Claim inspection dates: 2026-10-03 · Independent review pending

Guide note · not an individual product specification

The useful distinction

Understand the requirement.

Use a source trail that can preserve uncertainty instead of hiding it inside a compatibility verdict. [C148A]

The exact G5 Bullet technical page states 4 W while the same publisher's general table states 5 W. The conflict remains an open review issue. A recent inspection date does not settle a disagreement or imply independent technical approval. [C148B]

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Keep missing evidence distinct from exclusions.
  2. Retain conflicting source statements.
  3. Reprepare reports when evidence changes.
Trace a supported connection class →

Prepare reports explicitly

The tools create read-only public-reference reports containing selected models, exact port groups, scenario inputs, derived results and supporting sources. They do not export private inventory or connection notes and are not editable workspace backups. A changed selection, source, dataset or assessment date invalidates a prepared report.

Use the result to ask better questions

A report identifies what is documented and what remains to verify. It does not certify cable quality, actual negotiated rate, delivered power, firmware, a live budget or installation safety. Source review and practical verification remain separate steps.

Your next step

Evidence for this page

AI-assisted inspection is not independent engineering review. Source scope and access limitations are disclosed below. Procedural checklists are editorial requirements, not hardware measurements.

C148ASource checked · pending review

U6+ has only a headline GbE rate captured. USW-Lite-8-PoE has four powered ports without their numbers captured. USW-Flex-Mini has device-level PoE input without an exact port mapping captured. These are different limits; none should be silently filled from a photograph, a similar product or a maximum-rate assumption.
