Power over Ethernet Ports
EX4100 and EX4100-F switches are available with or without Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over
Ethernet Plus (PoE+/PoE++) capability. Models that support PoE, PoE+, or PoE++ provide that support
on all of their RJ-45 downlink ports. The switch models provide perpetual and fast PoE funconality.
PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ ports provide electrical current to devices—such as IP phones, wireless access
points, and security cameras—through network cables. Because the network cables provide electrical
current, you do not need separate power cords for those devices.
1. The EX4100-24P and EX4100-48P switch models support PoE+ (30 W) by default.
2. The EX4100-F-24P and EX4100-F-48P switch models support PoE+ (30 W) by default.
3. The EX4100-24MP and EX4100-48MP switch models support PoE++ (90W) by default.
For more informaon about PoE support on EX series switches, see Understanding PoE on EX Series
Switches.
NOTE: IEEE 802.3at class 4 powered devices require category 5 or higher Ethernet cables.
EX4100 and EX4100-F Cooling System
The cooling system in EX4100 and EX4100-F switches consists of fan modules and built-in fans in the
power supplies. The airow direcon depends on the fan modules and power supplies installed in the
switch. You can order an EX4100 switch that supports front-to-back airow or back-to-front airow, as
follows:
• Front-to-back airow: Air enters through the front of the switch.
• Back-to-front airow: Air enters through the back of the switch.
The fan modules are hot-removable and hot-insertable eld-replaceable units (FRUs) installed in the rear
panel of the switch. You can remove and replace the FRUs without powering o the switch or disrupng
switch funcons.
EX4100-F-24P, EX4100-F-24T, EX4100-F-48P, and EX4100-F-48T switch models have built-in fans.
EX4100 and EX4100-F Power System
The following list presents the EX4100 and EX4100-F switch models with their compable power
systems:
• EX4100-48P and EX4100-24P use the 920W AC AFO (Airow Out) PSU (Power Supply Unit) FRUs.
