PoE support
• WS-X6148X2-RJ-45—Field upgradeable to both Cisco
prestandard and IEEE 802.3af with the WS-F6K-FE48X2-AF=
PoE daughter card.
Note With the IEEE 802.3af PoE daughter card installed, the
WS-X6148X2-RJ-45 module can support up to 48 Class 3
(15.4 W) devices per module when operating as a 48-port
module or up to 96 Class 2 (7 W) devices per module when
operating as a 96-port module.
See the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Power over Ethernet Daughter
Cards Field-Upgrade Installation Note for field upgrade procedures.
See Appendix A for further information on the PoE daughter cards.
