I'm really unfamiliar with power over ethernet ... can anyone tell me if it's possible to power a switch (4-8 ports) using POE?
I'm contemplating running cat5 up to the attic of my house so I can put ethernet connections in the various bedrooms and the family room (currently over slab).
I'm thinking I will put a long run of cat 5 up to the attic, and connect that to a 4 port switch, and then run more wire to the various bedrooms and the family room.
Problem is, I want to put a switch in the closet of a bedroom ... but there's no power in the closet to plug a switch into.
If POE can provide enough juice to run the switch, that might solve the problem.
Thanks!
