AFL General Counsel Andrew Dillon revealed on Monday the fines had come as a result of failing to lodge forms relating to long-term list changes.
The Cats' fine was related to Allen Christensen, who was removed from the long-term injury list in round 12, while the Power's breach related to defender Lewis Stevenson.
Salary-cap investigator Ken Wood said the Power and Cats had "fully co-operated" in the separate matters and the good record of each club had been taken into account.
In a statement, the AFL said: "Ken Wood, manager TPP (Total Player Payments) and List Management said the Port Adelaide Football Club had fully co-operated in the matter and this and other mitigating factors, including that the breach was advised to the AFL as soon as the club became aware, it was an administrative error and not intentional and the club's good record had been taken into account regarding the sanction."
