I am looking to use PoE to power my BomeBox on a guitar pedalboard. The only power source I have to power the BomeBox is an MXR M242 power supply. I have a 9v 500ma output (2.1mm center negative barrel connector) on this power supply and would like to know if this PoE injector would be suitable: [https://mm.digikey.com/Volume0/opasdata/d220001/medias/docus/1889/435\_Web.pdf](https://mm.digikey.com/Volume0/opasdata/d220001/medias/docus/1889/435_Web.pdf)

Thanks for any advice regarding this.

Hi, I wouldn’t recommended it due to the footnote on the description (not true to POE spec). I suggest instead to use a USB power adapter of sorts to step down the power to 5 V from 9 V. 500ma is OK but certainly may not handle more tha 2 attached USB devices if you are using the BomeBox host port.

Can the BomeBox accept 9v at its micro USB port without damage?

Hi,

No USB should be 5 volts:

Here is an experpt from the [specifications](https://www.bome.com/products/bomebox):

- Power: requires 0.75W, either
  - via Micro-USB Type B: 5V (150mA) with a standard cell phone charger, or
  - via Power over Ethernet (PoE, 48V): _PoE In_ port
