Hardware Architecture & Core Design Innovations The...
The Cisco CMICR-4PS= is a 4-port PoE (Power over Ethernet) network interface module designed for Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR). It enables these routers to deliver 802.3af/at PoE+ to connected devices, making it ideal for branch offices and small networks requiring integrated power and data connectivity.
Q: Can this module power high-wattage devices like PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi 6 APs?
A: Yes. With 30W per port, it supports PoE+ (802.3at) devices such as Cisco 9100 APs or IP cameras with heaters.
Q: Does it require an external power supply?
A: No. It draws power directly from the router’s internal PSU, but ensure the router’s total PoE budget isn’t exceeded.
Q: Can it operate in non-PoE mode for standard Ethernet devices?
A: Yes. The ports automatically detect PoE requirements, functioning as standard Gigabit Ethernet ports when connected to non-PoE devices.

The CMICR-4PS= is a strategic add-on for Cisco ISR 4000 users seeking to streamline infrastructure without sacrificing PoE flexibility. While its 4-port design may limit scalability for larger deployments, its tight integration with Cisco’s ecosystem and energy-efficient design make it a pragmatic choice for small to mid-sized networks prioritizing simplicity and reliability. For IT teams managing hybrid environments, this module bridges the gap between routing and power delivery seamlessly.
