The problem is that 10/100+Passive PoE needs all 8 wires, typically - 2 pairs for data + 2 pairs for power. So simple splitting isn't going to get you very far.
You could probably put an adapter both ends and do some sort of 10/100+PoE on 2 pair and convert it back to 4 pair. But then you're limited at 10/100, no gigabit. Not sure this is what people would want with everyone moving to gigabit. -forrest On Sun, Oct 5, 2014 at 5:28 PM, timothy steele via Af <[email protected]> wrote: > No switching needed DIY would be to use 3 wire scotch locks on all wires > at the top then you would have 2 ends at top and 1 end at bottom as I'm > typing this I'm realizing the issues doing it that way but you can figure > it out I'm sure.. > > — > Sent from Mailbox <https://www.dropbox.com/mailbox> > > > On Sun, Oct 5, 2014 at 7:15 PM, Mark Radabaugh via Af <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I'm still looking for a rugged portable rechargeable power supply with >> a built in speaker and wifi AP for the installers to use to power and aim >> CPE. >> >> We cobble stuff up with rechargeable flashlights and electrical tape. >> It's not pretty.
