Depends. Within the standard, you can do 51w at the full 100m on standard cat6, which is 300ma/pair. If your runs are shorter, you should be good to go at the full type4 current, or, 960ma.

Hah, yes they are all 'up to' on the device side. A switch port or injector is not compliant with a particular standard if it does not provide for the type-specific load, however.

“By ‘Energy Star’ compliant, we mean that it burns as much energy as the sun.”
