Can you use this (or any POE products) with standard ethernet cables or do yo need special ones for the power?

A Standard Ethernet cable will do nicely. A standard Ethernet cable has a total of 8 wires. Ethernet data uses 4 of these and PoE uses the other 4 wires.

I hate to have to disagree with the other responders, but I have found that cables do matter for POE. My application was a relatively high power one that pushed POE right to the limit, and I could only get it to work with a solid wire cable. The problem is that some patch cables, in order to maximize flexibility and minimize cost, use wire that's basically copper foil wound around a piece of thread. These just don't have the necessary current carrying capacity, at least not in my experience. A proper stranded wire cable would probably work, but I haven't tried that.

Yes, you are going to have to use either POE adapter or purchase a separate power cord

Yes basically all cat 5 or cat 6 will support POE. POE only uses two wires that aren't used for networking.

Dear Robert. This does not have POE constructed, it only has the necessary lines to adapt a POE module. Basically this is a regular Ethernet shield like the rest you've seen only cheaper.

You could, however you'd have to use the included power brick and power that with the outlet too. I don't know of any power line Ethernet adapters that are PoE, that doesn't mean that they may not exist.

It comes with a power supply so you can use it with POE or w nearby electric plugin.

No, it takes power from rge network line(RJ45), so you will need have POE device for it.

You need a router that provides power over Ethernet or you can buy a Poe injector.

It only has a network jack for PoE. There is no traditional power input. The power supply you can get for this unit adds power to an Ethernet cable which then plugs into the network jack.

If you can get Power Over Ethernet (POE) from a Netgear switch (which you probably can, I didn't look into it) then you should be fine. I wanted the least amount of headaches possible with this setup and parts that were 'proven' to work. I went with it and all worked as advertised. I'm not sure what else is out there re: POE switches, but all the components required for this project worked and continue to work and was an item in my queue for longer than I care to think. The fact that it's behind me has paid for itself in my opinion.

It comes with a simple proprietary PoE injector which you must use. It can't be powered by standard 802.3af/802.3at PoE switches or injectors, nor does it have a power input jack directly on the device.This product's simple proprietary PoE implementation is limited in range: It doesn't support full 100 m (300 ft) Ethernet twisted pair cable runs, after about 25 m the voltage drop is enough to cause random reboots when using maximum transmission power. This fact isn't mentioned in the manual.

Doesn't look like it will. From the Engenious specs: Active Ethernet: (Power-over-Ethernet) Proprietary PoE Design. They want you to buy their PoE injector.Why not go with Ubiquiti instead? I have several of their products installed and never had a problem or failure - only issue was one of their POE-15 power supplies failed on me.

Why in an enclosure, not necessary. POE and all SS. What are you using it for?

Yes, the POE injector is the power supply. It plugs into the wall with a standard 3 prong North American plug. It also has two Ethernet ports. One is connected to the router/switch/hub and the other is connected to the Access Point. This is important to remember because you need extra cables.

I have not tested it w/power, but it is a straight through connector and should connect anything straight through, if there is not a resistance or current special requirement for POE. It should be easy to check.

Yes, I have a similar configuration now. You'll need one non-poe port to hook to the router which will be your uplink. Then, you can use the extra non-poe ports for whatever you want.
