    PLC Type is the type (PoE Standard) of the connected device (list here) where standard PoE is type 1 (802.3af), PoE+ is type 2 (802.3at) and there are 3 and 4 for the 802.3bt 'PoE++' standard.

    The PLC Cls stands for PoE Class. From the 2920 Management and Configuration Guide:


    Your output shows a port that has PoE enabled, but the device is not powering (probably not a PoE device).
