What I do is make a standard cable so that the plug has all the wires in there and hence is mechanically ok. Then I cut through the sheath near the plugs and cut the unused pairs. Then I cut through it a few inches back and pull out that end of the unused pairs between the cut and the nearby cut near the plug. Now I strip those pairs and use two for Vcc and two for ground. You don't want to just use the ground where the AP is for a number of reasons, voltages can be way different and some cheap power supplies aren't properly grounded, some house grounds aren't grounded too well, the AP may be far enough away that it's not using the same ground, etc, etc. Now just use some electrical tape to seal things up, or if you planned ahead you can use the heat shrink tubing you put on the cable earlier... -- Daniel << When truth is outlawed; only outlaws will tell the truth. >> - RLiegh On Mon, 8 Sep 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ]Daniel, ]>> PS you can make very inexpensive POE for non-POE ]>> equipment by just building power plugs into the cable ]Thanks for sharing this idea - I had wondered if you could do ]this...Could you share a link on this - or just answer the ]one thing that crossed my mind - ]I am worried about the balance when the POE pairs ]are split off from the rest of the cable - is it enough ]to just do the split close to the termination? ] ]In the past, I used a duplex jack, and I recently ]bought a bunch of couplers to split apart and try. ] ]Thanks ]Seth ] ] ] -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/ -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
