PoE Capability
The WS-C3750-24PS-S supports IEEE 802.3af PoE and Cisco pre-standard PoE.
Compatible devices can receive both network connectivity and electrical power through the Ethernet cable. Cisco specifically identifies compatible applications including Cisco IP phones and Cisco Aironet access points.
The maximum PoE capability is:
- Up to 15.4W per port
- Up to 370W for the switch
- IEEE 802.3af support
- Cisco pre-standard PoE support
Important: This is an older PoE/802.3af platform, not a modern PoE+ (802.3at) switch.
SFP Uplink Connectivity
The WS-C3750-24PS-S includes 2 SFP-based Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing fiber or compatible SFP connectivity for uplinks. Cisco lists these two SFP ports as part of the standard configuration for the 24PS-S model.
Cisco StackWise Technology
The Catalyst 3750 family introduced Cisco StackWise technology, using a 32 Gbps stack interconnect to combine compatible switches into a unified switching system.
This makes the Catalyst 3750 useful for legacy environments where centralized stack management and resilient switching are required.
Suitable Applications
The Cisco WS-C3750-24PS-S can be used for:
- Cisco IP phone deployments
- Legacy wireless access points
- Small enterprise networks
- Branch-office networks
- Campus access networks
- Legacy Cisco infrastructure
- Network laboratories
- Network equipment replacement
- Used/refurbished Cisco deployments
Important Product Classification
For SEO and customer accuracy, describe this product as:
Cisco Catalyst 3750-24PS 24-Port 10/100 PoE Switch
Do not describe it as a 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch. The 24 PoE ports are 10/100, while the two SFP uplinks provide Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Cisco’s official product documentation makes this distinction clear.
