[ietf78-tech] Mechanical specs of PoE-switches?

[Chris Elliott]

Geert,

We'd be using the 3560-E PoE switches in this location. Here's the physical specs:

3560E-48PD
1.75 x 17.5 x 18.1"
4.45 x 44.5 x 46.0 cm

3560E-48PD
19.2 lbs
8.75 kg

From:

http://cisco.biz/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps7078/product_data_sheet0900aecd805bac22.html

So they're 1 RU, but deep and a bit heavy. However, I think we can get them up there--we've had worse challenges, believe me! And the benefits are various:

 - No need for injectors
 - Known switch
 - Same as other switches in network
 - Our management is already set up

Let me know if you think it will be impossible or extremely difficult to transport these switches up there.

Thanks!
Chris.
