Hi,
I will be installing 3x 1600 AP into my warehouse soon for complete wireless coverage down there.
I am planning for them all to run back to a Cisco PoE switch for their power sources.
Runs for the 3 AP running back to the switch vary from 15m to 80m for the furthest AP away.
Running normal cat 5 cable and will be well clear from any electrical cable etc.
Will any 24 port cisco PoE switch be suitable for these AP power wise - or are there particular switches i need to be looking at?
Thanks in advance for any info offered

Hi,
According to the data sheet, the 1600 needs a maximum of 15.4W of power. Most Cisco POE device support POE+ which is about 30w per ports. So you should fine with installing a Cisco 3560X switch.
Here is the data sheet:

Depends on the budget.
The cheapest enterprise-grade Catalyst switch that can support PoE+ (for future proofing) and GigabitEthernet access ports is the 2960S/2960X switch.
Take note that Cisco has announced the end-of-sale for the 2960S. The 2960X is the replacment model for the 2960S, however, 2960S has one of the most stable IOS code while the 2960X IOS code is a "work in progress".
NOTE: The last date to order the 2960S is November 2015.
