okay, i have a question. I'm trying to do Power-Over-Ethernet using the (unused) blue pair of ethernet wires. 5VDC......i run the wire (~70 or so feet) and plug it in, and not enough voltage to boot my wireless router....seems that i need under 1.4VDC....how the hell can i add 5VDC to 1.4VDC. I tried getting one of those adjustable AC adaptors and hooking them in series and parallel... in series neither worked...got like 1VDC, and in parallel, well....i tested it later (after it was working) and found the voltage to be around 14-15VDC.....what the hell?
AC adaptor->modified 10/100->~70 foot run to attic->blue pair seperated from RJ45 Jack->in-to router. |

yeah...i'm just not so sure about this whole built-in power regulator.......I just don't wanna see fire or sparks, ya know? Plus that burning electrical smell is soemthing I also don't like to experience. That happened to an old 8088 once, smelled up the basement for days.....I had to come up with a REAL GOOD excuse for that....
