10/100/1000 Poe And Poe+Port Connections - Cisco Catalyst 2960-L Series Hardware Installation Manual

10/100/1000 PoE and PoE+Port Connections

Step 4
If the module has a bale-clasp latch, pull the bale out and down to eject the module. If the latch is obstructed and you
cannot use your finger, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or other long, narrow instrument to open the latch.
Step 5 Grasp the SFP module, and carefully remove it from the module slot.
Step 6
Place the module in an antistatic bag or other protective environment.

10/100/1000 PoE and PoE+Port Connections

The ports provide PoE support for devices compliant with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE+), and also provide
Cisco prestandard PoE support for Cisco IP Phones and Cisco Aironet Access Points.
On a per-port basis, you can control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone
or an access point is connected.
To access an advanced PoE planning tool, use the Cisco Power Calculator available on Cisco.com at this
URL:
You can use this application to calculate the power supply requirements for a specific PoE configuration. The
results show output current, output power, and system heat dissipation.
Warning Voltages that present a shock hazard may exist on Power over Ethernet (PoE) circuits if interconnections are
made using uninsulated exposed metal contacts, conductors, or terminals. Avoid using such interconnection
methods, unless the exposed metal parts are located within a restricted access location and users and service
people who are authorized within the restricted access location are made aware of the hazard. A restricted
access area can be accessed only through the use of a special tool, lock and key or other means of security.
Statement 1072
Caution Category 5e and Category 6 cables can store high levels of static electricity. Always ground the cables to a
suitable and safe earth ground before connecting them to the switch or other devices.
Caution
Noncompliant cabling or powered devices can cause a PoE port fault. Use only standard-compliant cabling
to connect Cisco prestandard IP Phones and wireless access points, IEEE 802.3af, or 802.3at (PoE+) compliant
devices. You must remove any cable or device that causes a PoE fault.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Connect one end of the cable to the switch PoE port.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when
both devices have established link.
3. Reconfigure and reboot the connected device, if needed.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
