Cisco PoE Question - Not able to support PoE on all ports

Hi,

This may be a fairly well known thing...

Cisco 2960 16 port PoE switches have a total PoE capacity of 120W, so 120/15.4 = 7.79 Which means a 16 port PoE switch can actually only support a maximum of 7 AP's in this case?

The switch reports 15.4w per port being used by the AP or is this a default reporting thing as the device has a max draw of 15.4w?

Interface Admin Oper Power Device Class Max

(Watts)

--------- ------ ---------- ------- ------------------- ----- ----

Gi0/1 auto on 15.4 AIR-CAP2602I-E-K9 3 30.0

Gi0/2 auto on 15.4 AIR-CAP2602I-E-K9 3 30.0

TL;DR - Can i run more than 7 AP's on one of these switches as in the real world, each AP wont actually draw the full 15.4w?
