Compact Cisco switch with UPoE support?

I am looking for a small Cisco switch with UPoE support. Is the smallest Cisco switch that offers UPoE the WS-C3560X-24U-L or have I missed a model?

We are looking to deploy 4 x AIR-CAP1532I-A-K9 AP. The location is far away from the rest of our environment.

The 2960-CX and 3560-CX only come with PoE+ ports.

The requirements are as follows:

  • At least 4 UPoE ports
  • at least 1 SFP port (to run SM fiber back to our facility). Two ports would be a bonus
  • Cisco hardware

If I can't find anything we will just need to use UPoE injectors.

Thanks in advance!

Reading the Datasheet, it says the power draw on the i model is <30w. It shows powering options as either 802.3at or UPoE. All of our current switches are 802.3at compliant (PoE+) but when we connect them to the switches they show medium power(30w) in the controller. Does anyone know why this would be?
