Catalyst Express 500 Series WS-CE500-24PC PoE

[hillside-computers]

Inline power (PoE)

Can some one confirm PoE Spec's and a little confused reading the spe'c

the spec say

●All 24 PoE ports on the Cisco Catalyst Express 500-24PC can supply up to 15.4W

(IEEE 802.3af standard maximum) of power over Category 5 cable, for a total of 370W

of inline power.

● Both the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard and Cisco prestandard inline power are supported

I have cisco 7940G witch are Prestandard so this switch will power the Phones on PoE ?

does not say it will supply PoE for Prestandard Phones just say its Supported

Thanks

Hi Colin,

Yes, the switch will power prestandard 7940s. Specs state it works on both 802af and cisco prestandard poe.

Best,

David
