Total power budget can be allocated among the ports
On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone
or an access point is connected.
The 10/100/1000 PoE ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is
328 feet (100 meters). The 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires Category 5, Category 5e, or
Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or
Category 4 UTP cable.
Cisco intelligent power management capabilities include enhanced power negotiation, power
reservation, and per-port power policing. For information about configuring and monitoring PoE ports,
see the switch software configuration guide on Cisco.com.
For information about port connections and port specifications, see the
Port Connections” section on page 2-24
and
Appendix B, “Connector and Cable Specifications.”
Note
The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
10/100 Ports
The 10/100 ports use RJ-45 connectors with Ethernet pinouts. The maximum cable length is

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The 10BASE-T traffic can use Category 3 or
Category 4 UTP cable.
