[Asterisk-Users] Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch recommendations

[William M Conlon]

Fair enough.

Though -- this is more than a cable, since it at least has a voltage  
divider, if not a voltage requlator, to drop the supply voltage.  So  
you have a rather subtle potential failure mode.

Just my opinion, but I prefer to conflate POE and IEEE 802.3af.  I  
wouldn't want to buy an "ethernet" device that used a CAT-5 cable but  
only received Morse Code.
