Just bought a new toy for 100€, full 48 port gigabit POE! It's pretty nice, I like it!

Not PoE+ so no autonegotiation. I'll never fuck with passive poe switches again it is such a headache.
Do you really need 48 ports? That things gonna consume a lot of power even while idle.
What is the autonegociation you're talking about here ? I never owned a POE switch, I, of course, don't need all the port, it was the cheapest POE switch I could find near me, everything else is like 250€ or more, or 150 for unmanagable. It won't be ON often for the moment, I just wanted a POE switch to have fun with wifi AP and in the futur IP cameras!
I wrote a big thing about what I meant but this switch seems to have 802.11af so I may be wrong. Instead here's a couple links to explain PoE better than I can

In this case the 3750G is a standards based PSE using 802.3af. It should not have any issues powering modern network equipment up to 15.4W
