Power Up!

There are multiple ways to power your BomeBox.

Micro USB

The port marked USB Power allows you to use the in-

cluded micro USB cable to power the BomeBox.

The Micro-USB connector is used for power only

and does not allow for data transfer between the

BomeBox and a computer or another USB host.

Sources for Micro-USB power include:

ᴑ a powered USB hub

ᴑ an external cell phone power battery pack

ᴑ a Micro USB cable connected to a computer

ᴑ a standard cell phone charger

Quality of cell phone chargers and powered USB

hubs vary a lot. If the BomeBox restarts on its own,

or does not properly power an attached USB device, please

try with a different power source. As a rule of thumb, the

higher the output current, the better the quality (e.g., 2A).

Fast charge ports on USB hubs often do not provide consis-

tent power and should generally be avoided.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

With a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source

like a PoE Ethernet Switch or a 48V PoE In-

jector, you can power the BomeBox via the

PoE In port. PoE is more stable than Micro-USB.

Note: the PoE Out port will provide power to another BomeBox

via daisy chaining (see page 11).
