We're using POE to over 60 access points and a few other devices. As best we can tell it works great. Also, it's really helpful since it's hard enough to get data to a ceiling tile, much less get power there. With POE you only need one wire! I don't know any of the specs, but I'm sure it wouldn't be available if there were major problems with power being next to the data. Plus i'm sure it's not a full 110w. But I don't know what the exact power draw is. BB
