PoE means Power Over Ethernet, and means that it is possible to use part of the LAN cable for powersupply routing.
Here are the standard connections:
pin color name10/100 name1000 1 or/wt RX+ pair2 A+ 2 or RX- pair2 A+ 3 grn/wt TX+ pair3 B+ 4 blu DCpos pair1 C+ 5 blu/wt DCpos pair1 C+ 6 grn TX- pair3 B+ 7 brn/wt DCneg pair4 D+ 8 brn DCneg pair4 D+
pin color name10/100 1 grn/wt TX+ 2 grn TX- 3 or/wt RX+ 4 blu DCpos 5 blu/wt DCpos 6 or RX- 7 brn/wt DCneg 8 brn DCneg
Both the above configs are mode B, where DC and Data is separated.
This uses pins 4,5 for one side of DC, and pins 7,8 for the other side.
Alternative is mode A, where DC and data share the same wires:
This uses pins 1,2 for one side of DC and data, and pins 3,6 for the other side.
pin numbering
Looking into a socket (jack) with the lock-hole downwards, you count 1 to 8 from left to right.
You could also do that from the cable side of a plug with the lock downwards, pins upward.
Specifications:
-IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at (POE Plus).
-Voltage 24V AC/DC up to 60V AC/DC (normal is 48V DC)
NB unsure here what is tx and rx and dc + or -.
good and cheap PoE set from TP-link, with 48V supply and built-in 5/9/12V smps at output side
