I have several access points AIR-CAP2702I.
How to evaluate whether switch (which I plan to order) 'WS-C3560X-24P-L' with 24 ports 10/100/1000 PoE+ (with 370W power supply) sill be able to support 'full power' mode for ~10 access points AIR-CAP2702I (this type of access point is PoE+)?

2702i Datasheet - AP does require PoE+ for full radio usage or it will only operate some radios.
3560-X Datasheet - WS-C3560X-24P-L supports PoE+ and has a power budget of 435W.
802.3at PoE+ specifies 30W of power per port so 435 / 30 means you can support 14 Access Points within that budget if being conservative. The APs will probably use around 18-20W at max power each so in reality you could potentially support 20+ without hitting your power limit.
If the switch is going to be layer 2 only then you could always consider at 2960X-24PS-L with a power budget of 370W which would cover your 10 but leave less wiggle room if there are expansions down the line.
