Never ever use those things... they work but only as a very last resort. Plus I can't put video down them so it would save exactly one run. And they're limited to 100 Mbit, plus they won't carry POE. The only time I use those is if there's a short-term requirement for a low speed port, temporarily. If its permanent, install more ports. -- CF
