The calculator enables you to calculate the power supply requirements for a specific Power over Ethernet (PoE) configuration. And with the addition of the Catalyst 2960 to CPC, customers and partners will be able to easily select, configure and analyze the power usage and heat dissipation for the 2960 family with configured PoE devices.
