Yep, when we saw the spark we remembered pretty quickly the stupid switch was still plugged in. Guess you have to mess up once in awhile to help remember…. 😊

You should avoid doing this. The POEs all have overcurrent protection and will shut down, but if you have an ethernet device on the other side it is possible to blow the port if you short the pins in just the right way.

Might be OK after a reboot of the switch but never tested very heavily since we didn't need the port.

So, I made a mistake and crimped a cable end while the PoE was still connected to the other end (Cambium ePMP gigabit PoE). I saw a small spark while the crimper hit the contacts. I expected to have to re-do the end and possibly replace the PoE, but everything was fine. Are some injectors just less sensitive than others? I hear a Netonix will lose a port if you do that. Are there any crimpers with non-conductive dies? -Chris
