2700 Series Ethernet Switches Power

I am looking at purchasing several 2700 series ethernet switches.
I need to know if they will accept dual power.
I travel throughout the world setting up temporary networks and need equipment that will support 110 volt United States and 220 volt European power.   Since it appears these switches have an IEC power cord I can switch to a European style power cord.
Can anyone verify this and if possible provide me ith detailed power specifications for these?
 
Thanks

    The maximum power for these systems is 1.0 Amps at 100 Volts.

    We are looking for a replacement to the Cisco 2940's
    It is more difficult than you think to find small switches with internal switchable power suplies.

    We did end up buying the Dell Power Conect 2708 switches  and yes they do have internal power supply switchable between 110 and 240 volts.

    sure... sure...
     
    So, are you moving a whole office each month to another country or what? even if so, how big can it be? 4 PCs? 5? why not use some simple switch that need 5V DC ? and connect it to one of the PCs? Ok, even 12V DC - you get them from a PC's (which works as a little local server and/or router) powersupply. Or if you use laptops with wireless, you can use wireless USB network card from Planet, it work as AP too.
     
    Or this is not the case? Suppose you have offices around the globe. Who cares what power standarts they have there? You find a universal powersupply (anywhere) and attach what plug you need. Never held a soldering iron in your hand? And you adapt a powersupply to the switch that meets your network requirements the best, not the other way round.
     
    If you can't figure out such simple things, why are you working in such a position? To waste companies money? :smileytongue:
