They aren't dumb hubs, they are dot1q capable switches. I do not understand why people are saying they need special POE cables for the IP500. Mine came with a cable that injected power into the cable, and from what I read, its Cisco and 802.3af compatible out of the box. My IP500s were $174/piece shipped. Maybe you will have better luck than I with them. I could be wrong on some of this info.
The IP500 will not draw power from either an 802.3af or a Cisco powered Ethernet link without a special adapter cable from Polycom. Same goes for the IP300. Rumor has it that current phones are starting to ship with the 802.3af adapter cable included.
The IP600 has built-in 802.3af support, so it will work on an 802.3af link. It still requires an adapter cable to work on a Cisco powered link.
