What is the Cisco PA100 power supply used for?
It is used to power Cisco Small Business VoIP devices such as the SPA series IP phones and ATAs. What devices are compatible with the Cisco PA100?
Common compatible devices include the Cisco SPA2102, SPA122, SPA112, PAP2T, and other 5V/2A Cisco VoIP adapters. What is the voltage and amperage output of the PA100?
The power supply outputs 5 volts at 2 amps (5V/2A). Is the PA100 an original Cisco product?
Yes, PA100 is a genuine Cisco-manufactured power adapter. Can I use the PA100 with non-Cisco VoIP equipment?
Only if the device requires 5V/2A and has a compatible connector; otherwise, it is not recommended. What is the plug type of the PA100 power adapter?
It typically uses a center-positive barrel connector, standard for Cisco small business devices. Is the PA100 power supply compatible with international voltages?
Yes, it supports 100–240V AC input, making it suitable for global use with the proper plug adapter. What are the dimensions of the PA100 power adapter?
Approximate size: 2.6 x 1.7 x 1.1 inches (excluding the cable). Is the power supply UL or CE certified?
Yes, the Cisco PA100 is safety-certified and meets common global standards. Can I replace my lost SPA112 adapter with this unit?
Yes, the PA100 is a direct replacement for the original SPA112 power supply. Does the PA100 support PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
No, it is a standard AC power adapter and not PoE-compatible. What is the length of the cable on the PA100?
The DC output cable is typically about 5–6 feet in length. Will this power supply work with the Cisco ATA191?
No, the ATA191 typically requires a different voltage/power adapter. Is it safe to use the PA100 with third-party VoIP hardware?
Only if the voltage, current, and connector match exactly; otherwise, it may damage the device. Can I use this adapter for travel?
Yes, the wide input voltage range (100–240V) makes it ideal for travel, with the right plug adapter. What happens if I use an adapter with the wrong amperage?
Under-powering may cause malfunction; over-powering could damage the device — always match 5V/2A. Is the Cisco PA100 RoHS compliant?
Yes, it is environmentally compliant and lead-free per RoHS standards. Does it include interchangeable plug heads for different countries?
No, the PA100 typically comes with a fixed North American plug; you’ll need a plug adapter for other regions. Can I buy a longer cable version of this power supply?
No official Cisco versions offer a longer cable, but extensions may be used cautiously. Is the PA100 compatible with the Cisco SPA8000?
No, the SPA8000 typically requires a different power supply with higher voltage specifications.
