Phone Power Requirements
The Cisco IP Phone can be powered with external power or with Power over Ethernet (PoE). A separate power
supply provides external power. The switch can provide PoE through the phone Ethernet cable.
Cisco IP Phones 8861 and 8865 are PoE Class 4 devices and require a switch or line card with Class 4
capabilities to support extra features.
For more information on your phone's power requirements, consult your phone's data sheet.
When you install a phone that is powered with external power, connect the power supply before you connect
the Ethernet cable to the phone. When you remove a phone that is powered with external power, disconnect
the Ethernet cable from the phone before you disconnect the power supply.
