Some models of the switches support stacking throu...
Page 13 - Management Ports
For switches with a 740 W power budget, you can budget the PoE and PoE+: • 15.4 W of PoE output on 48 ports • 30 W of PoE+ on 24 ports On a per-port basis, you control whether or not a port automatically provides power when an IP phone or anaccess point is connected. The PoE ports use RJ-45 connecto...
