Man beat me to it lol. Does powering one with a grounded PoE - say Ubiquiti for sake of argument protect the entire router though? John Woodfield Delmarva WiFi http://www.delmarvawifi.com cell (410) 708-1937

I usually power them through the POE in port and connect the shield to ground on the power supply, so it is at least grounded that way.

I see the switch has shielded jacks but I hardly want to create a problem by losing the surge protection attributes.
