- Backplane Connection: Bus
- Forwarding: Centralized
- Inline Power: Yes
- Queues per Port: 2 transmit, 1 receive
TheWS-X6348-RJ45V 48-port 10/100BASE-T switching module provides 48 switched,
10/100-Mbps autosensing, full- or half-duplex ports. (See Figure 2-14.) The
WS-X6348-RJ45V has 48 RJ-45 connectors for use with either Category 3, Category
5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP or FTP cable. The "V" in the product
number indicates that the inline-power daughter card (WS-F6K-VPWR) is installed
on the module. With the WS-F6K-VPWR daughter card installed, the module provides
these IP phone features on each port:
The WS-X6348-RJ45Voffers Inline power?Provides 48 VDC over standard Category
5, Category 5e, or Category 6 UTP cable up to 328 feet (100 meters) from the
switch to the IP phone. With inline power, pairs 2 and 3 (pins 1, 2, 3, and
6) of the four pairs in the cable are used to transmit power (6.3 W) from the
switch. This method of supplying power is sometimes called phantom power because
the power signals travel over the same two pairs used to transmit Ethernet signals.
The power signals are completely transparent to the Ethernet signals and do
not interfere with their operation.
