PoE mode for Catalyst Switches

[l.buschi]

Hello,

which PoE 802.3af mode is the one used in Cisco Catalyst Switch?

Is it mode A or mode B?

Mode A is PoE using data pairs

mode B is PoE using spare pairs

Thanks for your answer

Johnny

Hello, not sure if this will help, but here's the whitepaper on Cisco 802.3af PoE.

Maybe page 3?

Hope this helps

Just tested with our Link Runner Pro on a Cat 3560G.  It uses the Orange and Green pairs so that would be data pairs.
