Q. Can the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series PoE switches detect Type 1 and Type 2 powered devices?
A. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series supports both the PoE and PoE+ standards and can classify a powered
device as either Type 1 or 2 with a one-event classification. A Type 2 powered device supports Class 4 in
order to obtain more power than is supported by the legacy power levels (30W). A Type 1 powered device
can support only up to Class 3, or 15.4W.
Q. Can the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series PoE switches support two-event classification?
A. No. Two-event classification is specific to mid spans that work on power-supplying equipment (PSE).
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series supports only one-event classification.
Q. Do the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series PoE switches support power classification?
A. Yes, the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches can optionally detect the powered device power classification
signature and budget the appropriate power. This reduces the maximum power that must be budgeted by the
switch and provisioned in the wiring closet.
Q. What is the maximum power per port that the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series PoE switches can supply?
A. The Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series supports both PoE standards, 802.3af and 802.3at, which define the
maximum power that can be supplied to a port. The switches can provide up to 30W per port.
Q. To how many end devices can the Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series provide PoE and PoE+?
A. The Cisco Catalyst 2960X-48FPD-L and C2960X-48FPS-L can support 48 PoE ports with full Class 3 PoE
power of 15.4W each, for a total output capacity of 740W. All Cisco Catalyst 2960-X Series Switches with
PoE capability support PoE+. A complete list of Cisco Catalyst 2960-X and 2960-XR switches, with their PoE
capacities, is given in Table 10.
