Hi,

With the delivery of IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Cisco have extended their leadership in Power over Ethernet capability with a comprehensive portfolio of 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet interfaces for the Cisco Catalyst 3500, 4500 and 6500 while providing backward compatibility with existing Cisco prestandard Power over Ethernet line cards.
