Cisco Patch Panel WS-PWR-PANEL Hoja De Datos

The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel can also work in

conjunction with the existing patch-panel configuration

(see Figure 2). Ethernet terminals use pins 1, 2, 3, and 6

for data transmission, and the Catalyst Inline Power Patch

Panel does not access or insert power into these wire pairs.

The Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel acts as a normal patch

panel for Ethernet connections that do not require inline

power, ensuring reliable performance by keeping unneeded

circuitry out of these normal patch-panel connections. The

Catalyst Inline Power Patch Panel provides power only on

the unused Fast Ethernet pins 4, 5, 7, and 8. Network

administrators can count on reliable power distribution that

will not interfere with network operations that do not require

inline power.

Fast installation requires no special tools or training. No

configuration is necessary for the Catalyst Inline Power Patch

Panel. The phone discovery mechanism is on by default, and

it automatically detects phones and supplies inline power.

The rugged, self-contained design ensures reliable everyday

performance. Its compact size, only two rack units (RUs)

high, allows easy rack mounting and preserves valuable

space in the wiring closet.
