Oops. I just looked at Chuck’s website and it does have LEDs. Probably mine
have LEDs too and I just forgot. I was probably confusing it with the non POE
model.
I remember back in the 70’s using slide-base switchboard lamps. Color caps on
the 48V versions had to be glass because plastic caps would melt. We would
design with pre-warming resistors to reduce cold inrush current, so the bulbs
would glow dimly when “off”. The world is better with LEDs.

Yeah, it seems to be just the area around the LED. The connector is not very
hot at all.

Or is it the area right by the LED's?

We just installed our first GIGE-POE-APC which is powering an AF24, and
noticed that it gets VERY hot. So hot that it almost instantly burns your
finger when you touch the green molding. For folks that have these installed,
is this normal?
It's ran fine for a few days, but this morning we we noticed that the
ethernet link on the AF24 was dropping (and coming back very quickly). I'm not
sure if it's related or not.
