Alimentation via Ethernet (PoE) simplifies deployments for IP telephony, sans fil, surveillance or other connected devices without the need for locating devices near power outlets. Cisco Business Switches support both the 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards, providing up to 30W per port to high-performance wireless access points, pan-tilt zoom cameras, IP phones, and video endpoints.
Models with different PoE power budgets ranging from 45W to 740W are available with 8-, 16-, 24-, and 48-port configurations so any user can find the exact fit for their deployment.
