A voip phone will maybe use 100k. You get no advantage at all to plugging this into a gig switch.

The reason ip phones have gig ports on them is many times to reduce the amount of cable and jack a company will plug the pc into a second jack on the phone and the phone into the wall jack. Since the PC and VoIP phone then share the cable going to the wall a gig port is many times needed to not slow the pc down.

The problem is you need a very advanced switch to be able to do this. Since you did not ask anything about vlans or lldp you likely do not plan to run in this configuration.

In a small office it will be much cheaper to run a 10/100 PoE switch for the phones and a seperate 10/100/1000 switch for the PC.
