| You need devices at both ends that support POE. One end provides a power source, the other end consumes that power.
How that power gets on the wires depends on the power source hardware. Some POE switches include POE voltage, or you can buy an injector that you connect a Cat5 cable (and a transformer) to, and then run another Cat5 cable out the other side.
Similarly, a consuming device must be built with POE in mind -- you can't just run any old device with an ethernet port using POE power. |

Fort Frances, ON | Not all POE are created equal. You need to match the injector with the power consuming device as there are not only different voltages involved but also different copper pairs. I believe that for a Tranzeo radio, you would use their POE injector. |
