PoE Blocker

[PsyWulf]

You can make your own fly leads if you have a crimper, simply don't connect wire 7 and 8 on both sides which is used for POE.

This is the type of advice that blows **** up literally

Why?

Crimp your own connector and leave out pins 4/5 & 7/8

 

[PsyWulf]

Why?

Not only is the PIN Numbering ranging from "Halfway there" to "Completely inaccurate" depending on whether it's Gigabit or 100Mbps Active PoE

But if it's passive POE you'd blow up a device by just yanking the DC- and leaving the DC+ (Passive PoE (Pins 4, 5 +; 7, 8 -)

CISCO's proprietary PoE does Pin1 and 2 for power too if memory serves

Sounds like you dont really need a poe switch for all this, chop the problem off at the head and get a regular switch?

I see I missed pin 4 and 5.
