Power over Ethernet on the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Platform
The Cisco® Catalyst® 4500E Series platform offers line cards, power supplies, and accessories to support 15.4W per port simultaneously on every port in any fully loaded Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series switch. Although all references to "Power over Ethernet" (PoE), "inline power," and "voice" power supply and line cards are synonymous. There are four versions: Cisco prestandard PoE, 802.3af-compliant PoE, 802.3at-compliant PoEP (30W), and Universal POEP (UPOE) (60W). Every Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series chassis and PoE power supply supports the Cisco prestandard PoE, the IEEE 802.3af standard PoE, and IEEE 802.3at-compliant PoEP power implementation, helping ensure backward compatibility with existing Cisco powered devices. PoEP is standard on the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series platform. UPOE requires Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series chassis.
All Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series PoE line cards can distinguish an IEEE or Cisco prestandard powered device from an unpowered network interface card (NIC) to help ensure that power is applied only when an appropriate device is connected. With a Cisco PoE network, administrators can depend on a robust network that is safe to deploy and simple to maintain.
PoE(P)
PoE is the capability to provide up to 15.4W of power over 100m of standard Category 3 (or better) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables when an IEEE 802.3 af-compliant or Cisco prestandard powered device is attached to the PoE line-card port. Instead of requiring wall power, attached devices such as IP phones, wireless base stations, video cameras, and other IEEE-compliant appliances can use power provided from the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series PoE line cards. This capability gives network administrators centralized control over power and eliminates the need to install outlets in ceilings and other out-of-the-way places where a powered device can be installed. When a switch is connected to an uninterruptible-power-supply (UPS) system, network administrators can help ensure that power outages will not affect network availability. IEEE 802.3at-compliant PoEP extends the Power over Ethernet capability to up to 30W over 100m of Category 5e (or better) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables.
UPOE
Universal POEP is an enhancement to the PoEP (802.3at) standard to allow powered devices up to 60W to connect over a single Cat 5e cable. Standard PoEP uses only 2 twisted pairs (out of 4) in the Ethernet cable. UPOE uses all 4 twisted pairs to deliver 60W to the port. The additional power UPOE offers over standard PoE extends the advantages of PoE to next-generation powered workspace devices such as virtual desktop displays, workgroup switches, and physical access controllers. All Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series UPOE line cards support standard PoE as well as Cisco prestandard PoE. When deploying UPOE devices, Cat5e (or better) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable is recommended.
Deploying PoE on the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series
PoE deployment is extremely easy on the Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series platform. All Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series PoE line cards automatically detect and power all attached powered devices. Moreover, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series returns unused port power to the system power budget for use by other devices because it supports the IEEE 802.3af optional power classifications. Finer granularity for the budgeted power is achieved on Cisco power devices that support Cisco Discovery Protocol.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series offers internal power supplies and external power devices for multiple deployment scenarios, including small and large deployments in AC or DC environments for data-only configurations, and scalability up to 60W per port for PoE, PoEP, and UPOE configurations.
All the Cisco Catalyst E-Series Chassis models share a common power-supply form factor. Each Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series chassis is designed for 1 + 1 power protection while meeting the needs of PoE demands. In addition to power resiliency, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series includes 1 + 1 supervisor-engine redundancy (Cisco Catalyst 4507R+E/4507R-E and 4510R+E/4510R-E models only) and software-based fault tolerance. Integrated resiliency in both hardware and software minimizes network downtime, helping ensure workforce productivity, profitability, and customer success.
Table 1 gives an overview of IEEE 802.3af power classifications.

Comparison Between Cisco Prestandard PoE, 802.3af-Compliant PoE, and 802.3at-Compliant PoE
From a power perspective, there are several significant differences between the Cisco prestandard, 802.3af-compliant and 802.3at-compliant line cards. The differences are illustrated by comparing the total number of PoE devices supported by the Cisco prestandard inline power line card, the 802.3 af-compliant, and the 802.3at-compliant line cards (Table 2).

Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Power-Supply Options: AC and DC
The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series offers a variety of power supplies and accessories to meet the diverse needs of enterprise and service provider customers. All available Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series power supplies can be used for data-only deployments, which typically require just a few hundred watts. For deployments that dictate support for PoE power, Cisco offers several options.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series offers AC power with several internal supplies: 1000W (data only), 1400W (data only), 1300W (data and PoE), 2800W (data and PoE), 4200W (data and PoE), and 6000W (data and PoE). When 5500W or less is required, the 4200W power supply can provide 5500W while protecting the chassis from a power or power-supply subunit failure. All Cisco Catalyst 4500 AC power supplies are single phase and operate between 100VAC and 240VAC.
The Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series has two DC power options: one is optimized for data-only deployments in service provider central offices (part number PWR-C45-1400DC), and the other is used for high-power PoE deployments (PWR-C45-1400DC-P). All DC power supplies are designed to operate between -44VDC and -72VDC.
Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Service Provider DC Power Supply
The triple-input 1400-WDC power supply is optimized for service provider central-office deployments. By providing multiple inputs, the service provider DC power supply allows central-office technicians to customize the output power to meet their application needs. Many central-office deployments require only a fraction of the 1400W available in the service provider power supply. With low-current inputs, technicians can connect the supply to smaller fuses and breakers. The service provider power supply makes it possible to deploy a Cisco Catalyst 3-slot chassis with a single 15A circuit. Likewise, it is possible to deploy a fully populated Cisco Catalyst 10-slot chassis with one 15A and two 20A circuits rather than a single 60A connection, which often requires rack rewiring (Table 3).
Cisco Catalyst 4500E Series Dual Input AC PoE Power Supplies
The 6000W ACV and 4200W ACV power supplies feature combined Mode Power Resiliency as an extension of the traditional combined mode power-supply behavior. Each power supply contains two smaller power supplies (called subunits). In Combined Mode Power Resiliency the system relies only on power from three out of four power-supply subunits. When using 200 VAC, this feature helps ensure that maximum power is available while the switch is protected against a single input power failure or subunit component failure. (See Tables 4 through 7.)
