The PoE to USB solution is a "PoE splitter" and they're cheap and very useful. The website says the device has a USB-A connector for power. That's a bit of an odd connector to power a device from (since A is supposed to be a host port). Is that port really an A?
- konschubert 3y agoI am referring to something like this: https://www.newnex.com/images/usb-2-a-male(UH2-AE)_small.png https://www.newnex.com/images/usb-2-a-male(UH2-AE)_small.png Isn't this called a USB-A plug? EDIT: I cannot respond to the child comment, but yes: The Device has a male USB plug, and then the cable goes right into the device, no receptacle on the device.
- EvanAnderson 3y agoI think I'm misunderstanding. The device has a captive cable with a USB-A plug on the end (i.e. not a female receptacle on the device), doesn't it? Edit: I understand. I'm used to devices with receptacles rather than captive cables. Any reason why you went that way?
- konschubert 3y agoI was going back and forth on this for a long time, but ultimately I decided that a cable entering the device looks sleeker than a plug that is plugged into a socket on the frame. Also makes it easier to place it on the included stand.
