You can start a fire with a 24v car battery (and dry tinder, and skill). However, PoE switches only supply power after successful negotiation with the client. You would have to be _seriously_ unlucky to get a cable intact enough to support a connection but damaged enough to start a fire - I don't think I could do it on purpose, even if I had a few days and a stack of spare cables to try.
I'd be more concerned about the power supply (between the wall and the router) than the 48V lines. Would definitely want to be sure that was good quality.

- danielheath 4y agoI feel like that's cheating; steel wool will burn if you so much as look at it funny.
- charleslmunger 4y agoThe normal way to do this is to get a dodgy CCA cable with insulation that is not riser rated, and run a bundle of them together into a wall.
