Q.
How does the 8700W enhanced AC power supply compare with the existing AC power
supplies for PoE scalability?
A.
The 8700W enhanced AC power supply provides the maximum scalability for PoE among the
AC power supply options for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches. Table 2 compares the
3000W, 6000W, and 8700W AC power supplies in terms of PoE scalability.
