Need to place a WiFi AP as well as an IP camera (different locations); both devices are not near any power outlet. Is PoE (non standard*) a solution for such cases? From what I have seen on web sites, these contraptions have two units, one near the switch to inject the DC voltage + the LAN pairs and the second near the device end to tap out the DC and separate the LAN pairs. I am not sure if 12VDC/1A (the input power requirement for AP and camera) is sustainable over the CAT5 pairs.
POE is 48v. Unless the endpoints have an internal switcher, you will fry everything.
Furthermore, Google searching for products came across the DLink DWL-P200. Has anyone on this list used the product? All suggestions welcome.
- not the 48V as per 802.3af Standard.
Looks like this one passes on the input supply to the output. Cat6E sustains upto 2 amps upto 100M.
