Wall Power
The last option is to power the Cisco IP Phone from a local transformer module
plugged into a nearby outlet (maximum of 3 meters), as illustrated in Figure 2-9.

A combination of these power options can provide redundant power to the
Cisco IP Phone. Internally, these three sources are combined through protection
diodes, so that whatever combination is used, the phone shares the power.
Summary of Recommendations
You can purchase line cards that are capable of applying power to the IP phone.
If you want to deploy IP phones with existing switches, you can either buy new
line cards capable of applying power or use the external Cisco power patch panel
to power the phones if powered line cards are not available for the switch. As a
final option, you can use wall power to provide power to the IP phones.
