? Must be either very low current lighting or that's some pretty beefy Cat6. I think the average Cat6 cable is only 24 gauge and that won't carry a lot of current very far.

- jandrese 8y agoIsn't this like saying you could light the world if you had a big enough switch and unlimited cable?
- bronson 8y agoWhere did you get that? GP is talking about lighting a floor in a building.
- jandrese 8y agoHe's talking about running a separate cable for each and every bulb. It's a wasteful solution compared to running all of the lights off of a single circuit (or limited number of circuits) like a normal building.
- Someone1234 8y agoNo I wasn't. PoE+ can support half a dozen LED panels off of a single Cat6 run.
- FooHentai 8y agoPoE+ will deliver 30W to the far end of up to 100M network cabling. Given that those cables radiate out to endpoint devices from a central point, rather than powering multiple devices in a ring/loop topology, the potential to power lots of devices over a wide area is huge. Biggest problem tends to be accommodating the central power delivery device. Those big PoE switches run hot and loud.
