Chapter 1 Product Overview
Front Panel
All 8 or 12 downlink ports on the Catalyst,3560CG-8PC-S, 3560C-8PC-S, and 3560C-12PC-S switches
are PoE+ capable. The maximum switch power output is 123.2 W. You can budget the PoE and PoE+:
• 15.4 W of PoE output on eight ports
• 30 W of PoE+ on four 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 “Connecting to the 10/100 and
10/100/1000 Ports” section on page 2-33.
Note The output of the PoE circuit has been evaluated as a Limited Power Source (LPS) per IEC 60950-1.
PoE Pass-Through
The Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L and 3560CPD-8PT-S switches provide PoE pass-through. The
Catalyst 2960CPD-8PT-L is powered either through the 10/100/1000 PoE uplink ports receiving power
from a PoE or PoE+ switch or through an auxiliary power adapter. The Catalyst 3560CPD-8PT-S is
powered through the 10/100/1000 PoE uplink ports receiving power from a PoE+ switch or through an
auxiliary power adapter. If the switch has surplus power (see Table 1-2), it can power other PoE-capable
devices such as IP phones, access points, and so on. See Figure 1-6.
See the “Powering the Switch” section on page 2-4 for information on powering the switches.
