<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">If you are planning to use Official PoE, remember that while the current is limited to 300ma, this is at around 44 VDC, the spec for 'regular' PoE is around 13 Watts of available power at the field end. To operate
your R-Pi or other device you need to drop that down to the right supply voltage, so a shield with a DC to DC converter would do nicely.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">On the other hand, there are cheap and easy power injector cables that allow you to piggy back a DC supply of your choosing onto the Ethernet cable at the head end and then pull it back off on the field end. $6 at Adafruit for a pair: <a href="https://www.adafruit.com/products/435">https://www.adafruit.com/products/435</a><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">and if you don't need a pretty injection molded cable, you can make your own for the cost of the barrel jacks.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Clearly, some thought needs to be put into the cable lengths, DC losses and just how much power you need, but this IS a viable option.<o:p></o:p></p>
