Aren't the Polycom phones PoE?
-Stephen-
Yes and mostly yes. The Polycom 601, 430 and 650 have built-in 802.3af
PoE capability. Meaning, you can plug the phone into a PoE switch with
about any patch cable and it will power on. The 301 and 501 require a
special cable that has a small (maybe 2"x1"x.5") box on the far end that
converts either 802.3af or cisco (depending on the cable) PoE into what
the phone uses. This special cable does have a jack on it so you can
extend the overall length of the cable if need be. It works, but is a
bit cumbersome to have to deal with.
