Q: Can the ESW520-24P switch with a total power budget of 180 watts support support 20 SPA5xx IP phones?
A: Yes
Details:
Cisco Product Engineers connected 21 SPA5xxG IP phones to an ESW 24 port switch.
With all 21 phones powered up and idle, the switch reported a total consumption of 63W out of the available 180W
