The Cisco IP phones that end in 1, for instance 7941, 7961, 7971, all
support 802.3af standards, and were built just for that.
Thanks,
Nick

What obscure cisco phones are you using ?
7960G - pretty obscure huh?
You may only need a different fly lead if you have older pre
standard phones
otherwise it should work ok.
Pay attention Fadge: There are many types of POE and at least two
types that use 48v and are somewhat 802.3af compliant. Older POE
like Cisco take their power over the unused pairs of an ethernet cable.
Most of the latest generation POE switches including the Linksys
SRW224P provide their power on the data pairs, not the unused pairs.
So if both the data and the power are on the same pairs, how do you
make a cable adapter to work with the 7960G?
Its my understanding the 7960"G" model is .3af compliant, and the
older 7960's are not. I think I read that on one of Cisco's pages, but
not sure, and obviously I haven't tested it.
