I do know that the current ESW 500 switch models do not have enough capacity to power all of the switchports at 15.4W, even though the ESW-540-8P model has almost enough capacity to power all of the switchports at 15.4W.
Reasons why new ESW 500 switches with increased PoE capacity are needed:
The PoE capacities of the existing ESW 500 switches are:
The PoE capacities of ESW 500 switches supporting the full 15.4W PoE power on all PoE ports are:
Are there plans to release new ESW 500 switch models with increased PoE capacity, enough to deliver the full 15.4W to all of the PoE ports?

Hi John -- Thanks for participating in the Small Business Support Community. I talked to our switching product manager and want to share his response.
We have made a conscious decision to deliver PoE as in ESW and other Small Business switches for several reasons:
We do not have a product with full power on all ports in the Cisco Small Business portfolio, except in the 8-port arena. Within Cisco, the Cisco Catalyst products support this today.
Thanks again for the question,
