We are currently considering the Linksys POE switch for a small Asterisk office deployment. There will be no separate wiring closet to put it in. Can anybody tell me if this switch has a loud fan? Users would not be able to tolerate a loud noise close by. Otherwise we will go with a fanless desktop switch. Thanks, -- Andres

I have been running one in my lab for several months. It?s a good switch especially as it is only ?200, if you know were to shop. But it is loud, but then most POE switch's are. Get them some earplugs !!

Forgot to mention the "snob value". Although it's Linksys it is also branded quite prominently with the Cisco logo, which for some strange reason customers seem to like.

What will you be powering with it? I bought one to power Cisco IP phones but realized that it will not power them before it arrived. It is still sitting sealed in the new packaging while I decide what to do with it; otherwise I would tell you if it was loud or not.

" What will you be powering with it? I bought one to power Cisco IP phones but realized that it will not power them before it arrived." What obscure cisco phones are you using ? You may only need a different fly lead if you have older pre standard phones otherwise it should work ok.

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?

Guess I should locate my oldest 7960 first, in case there aresparks and a fire :-) No, you want the NEWEST one, because it's still under warranty!! ;-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
