[cisco-voip] PoE Question

[Voll, Scott]

Well it depends.

 

My understanding is you can fully populate a 24 port PoE switch with
anything.

 

Or a 48 port with the older phones using the 6.3 watts.

 

But if you are using the newer phones which use twice the watts you can
only plug in about half.

 

Doesn't make much sense to me that cisco would do that..... but that's
what my Partner / reseller is telling me.

Subject: [cisco-voip] PoE Question

 

Does anyone have a link on Cisco's web site that will explain the power
budgeting for PoE on their switches.  Basically I'm looking for proof
that it's either possible or not to have phones plugged into every port
on a switch and not cause any problems with power.  I've heard both that
you can't use all the ports and that you can, so I need the definitive
answer.

 

 

thanks again!
