Will new gigabit PoE damage my cameras?

Hello,

I'm planning to get new 16 port gigabit switch with PoE to replace 2 smaller ones that I have.
Doing research I came across Amazon.com: NETGEAR ProSAFE JGS516PE 16-Port Gigabit Rackmount PoE Web Managed (Plus) Switch with 8 PoE Ports 85w (JGS516PE-100NAS): Computers & Accessories
And was told to make sure IP cameras support gigabit PoE?
Reason for it is that Gigabit ethernet needs all 4 wire pairs. So Gigabit PoE works by running DC power over one of the wire pairs, and the normal Ethernet signal is added on top. If you plug it into a device which doesn't support Gigabit PoE, you can fry the device.
I have:
Camera 1: DS-2CD2032-I
Camera 2: DS-2CD2542FWD-IS

My questions is can the new switch damage it?

thats entirely bullshit.. you wont do any damage if they are IEEE 802.3AT/AF spec
 
Thanks for the reply!
The description says:
  • 8 PoE ports (802.3af) providing up to 15w per port/ 85w total PoE power
So I should be good?
 
you'll be fine, that should not damage anything plugged into it.. PoE or not

I'm using the 24 port Netgear gigabit switch. My cameras are working great so far.
