USB C cables are extremely expensive compared to Cat6 there’s no comparison. 802.3af can run 48v for 100m I doubt USB C can run that far. Power delivery is a non-issue most devices can handle POE just fine and I have 3 Cameras, 2 APs, a switch, and a Pi all running off a single 150w UniFi switch.
If you need more power you can always build another regular outlet much cheaper than setting up USB C.
- zaarn 7y agoIf you solder a 802.4af to a USB C socket you can get the same distance at the same voltage. USB C no longer has a specified maximum length, the only requirement is that the signal makes it across.
- wil421 7y agoCan you even buy a splicer that will put on USB C ends? Doesn’t any cable just required the signal to be enough? I mean you could put Poe injectors or signal amplifiers for coax every X meters.
- zaarn 7y agoNot quite, the cable needs to be suitable for differential signaling and it has some tight inductance and RF property requirements, otherwise the wire just leaks all over the spectrum and doesn't work.
