Phone Power Requirements
You can power the Cisco IP Phone 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. 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.

Guidelines
The 6800 series phones use a custom power supply.
The Cisco IP Phone Power Injector may be used with the phones.
Functioning as a midspan device, the injector delivers inline power
to the attached phone. The Cisco IP Phone Power Injector connects
between a switch port and the phone, and supports a maximum
cable length of 100 m between the unpowered switch and the phone.
To ensure uninterruptible operation of the phone, make sure that the
switch has a backup power supply.
Make sure that the Cat OS or IOS version that runs on your switch
supports your intended phone deployment. See the documentation
for your switch for operating system version information.
