POE, or Power Over Ethernet, utilizes twisted pair spare wires in an RJ 45 (CAT 5) wiring set. Only 2 of the four twisted pairs are being used for LAN transmit and receive, and created an opportunity to simply use the same LAN cable to transport power (48VDC). This comes in handy since many devices like cameras, wireless access points, network switches and VOIP phones can operate with 48VDC. Imagine not having to run a... More
