I use PoE extractors to power a few different devices in my house, including RPis and some non-PoE switches. It's ridiculously easy to use them, but you generally need to know the voltage you want ahead of time.
- poolopolopolo 3y agoHoly moly, didnt know these things existed :O and fairly cheap as well, always though PoE a bit of useless since most devices dont support it and it was (is?) quite dangerous.
- mmastrac 3y agoIf you have modern PoE dispensing (?) equipment it's pretty safe as the devices all auto-negotiate.
- EvanAnderson 3y agoPoE splitters with USB outputs are really handy since "everything" plugs-in to USB now.
- linsomniac 3y agoI got some POE adapters for my Google WiFi points so I can place them around the house and not mess with an extra power cable. Works great. You can get them on Amazon with various outputs (USB, USB-C, barrel connectors of various types).
- markild 3y agoWhat's your experience getting gigabit adapters? In my experience, cheap ones on e.g eBay will give you 10/100, but I don't think they typically support gigabit.
- linsomniac 3y agoThe ones that I got say they are gigabit and are currently $12.50: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TJ3ZNJ4 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TJ3ZNJ4
