RE: Power over Ethernet

["Robert Welsh" <bob-ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Even without a Cisco switch Cisco's Aironet access points are shipped
with a "power injector" which allows you to locate a power socket
somewhere more sensible then 'squirt' the DC down the Cat5 to a remotely
located access point.

This is the setup I have at home.
