I am curious what you are doing that is 10GB+ on your home network. Not snark. Genuinely curious.

  I'm not using 10GB! I was not implying that. I am however using cat6 cables and I get around 800mbps speed around the house. I have PoE injector and some of my devices (access point, cameras, raspberrypies) are powered through the cable. I was genuinely wondering if one of the disadvantages of optical cables is the lack of PoE, due to the lack of copper wires.

    Fiber is often chosen specifically for its electrical isolation properties (runs between different buildings as just one example). Your intuition that fiber doesn't support PoE is correct.
