<FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="11" DEFAULT="SIZE">Sometimes it doesn't matter what the device actually draws as much as what it declares itself to be to the upstream switch. For example, most polycom phones draw under 9 watts but in practice they declare themselves to the switch as requiring the full 15.4 watts allowed by 802.11af class 1.<BR>
<BR>
I've seen but never used the 3Com Netjacks, which seem like a possibly nice solution to this kind of problem. They not only accept inbound POE, but can have their own power supply and provide POE to several downstream devices.<BR>

The Aastra 53i draws only 2 Watts from a Linksys 24 port POE switch. 25 phones is around 55 Watts.<BR>
