Cisco 3560cx poe max

[Dylan2505]

Hello,

We are using a cisco 3560cx to connect speakers and microphones. One of the microphones require a higher wattage to work properly. I read online that the max wattage is 15.4 watts, is this true? Or is there a way to get a higher wattage output. We are only using 4 ports out of the 12. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are various PoE power "standards", some (I last recall) supporting up to 60w per port.  Additionally, besides per port ratings, there can be overall power limitations.

As to 3560cx, the datasheet should list PoE specs.  Have you been unable to find them?

I just checked.  Overall PoE is up to 240w and ports are PoE+, 30w.

I have applied this change and the speaker is still only pulling 15.4 watts. Ports 5 through 12 are disabled and ports 1 through 4 are configured with power inline auto max 30000.

". . . ports 1 through 4 are configured with power inline auto max 30000."

Try "power inline static".
