The WS-F6K-VPWR is a Cisco prestandard PoE daughter card for Catalyst 6500 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Ethernet modules, and it adds inline power to the module, which can then feed IP phones, video phones and wireless access points. It provides 48 VDC over Category 5, 5e or 6 UTP cable up to 328 feet (100 meters).
Cisco prestandard is the only PoE type this card supports. It is not the same card as WS-F6K-VPWR-GE, and the two cannot be swapped between modules. Spare form is WS-F6K-VPWR=.
Modules fitted with it include WS-X6148-RJ-21, WS-X6148-RJ-45 and WS-X6348-RJ-45. A WS-X6148-RJ-21 gains Cisco prestandard PoE when the card is installed, and a WS-X6348-RJ45 does likewise. Supervisor Engine 2 with this card needs software release 12.1(13)E. The WS-X6348-RJ-45V module ships with the card already installed.
For an IEEE 802.3af card see the separate WS-F6K-GE48-AF and WS-F6K-FE48X2-AF pages. These cards fit Catalyst 6500 and 6500-E chassis such as the WS-C6506-E enhanced chassis, and more parts are in Cisco Catalyst modules and accessories.
