- I'll go over the steps of creating your very own POE using things you more than likely already have. This is a great way to power your devices without having to hurt your head of creating a power source for your device.

Brilliant. I'm really impressed!
This is genius! Thanks for sharing
nice video bro... very informative!!
I had done the same thing you said and this power my tplink cpe(12v) but when I connect the another end of cable to router the lan light never light up.How to solve this please help me.
Great, Thanks!
I wish it was that fast when it comes to separating the pears to put it in the CAT5 end. Good video though
Hey, wich app do you use?
skip to 4:14, thanks
Cool vid. Thx
No Problem!
Thank you so much, great idea. I don't know why POE adapters cost over 20$.
You and me both!
Depends on what you get, if it's passive PoE, you can get one for dirt cheap. Active PoE i.e 802.3at/af on the other is is rightly "expensive" because you are not only dealing with power electronics , but also data and power modulation hardware.
In fact it's possible to use POE, POE+ or 4PPOE on Gigabit devices. Like for POE A mode, POE power injector act like a phantom power supply. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet#Pinouts
Out of interest, how long is the cable you used for this? I presume its a 12v camera?
Thanks for making the video, i found it very useful! However i think you should put a notice in the description about attempting this method for lower voltage devices.
To others thinking of doing this - If you are thinking this method can power a 5v device it may well do at pretty short distance, but i wouldn't bother trying for anything under 12v the resistance of the longer wire will cause a voltage drop and power loss, which will both waste energy and likely be too low a voltage to power the device.
I tried this method with cat 5 and cat 6 at around 10 meters with a raspi 3b (5v 2.5amp psu) and although it did supply power to the board, the red light flickers indicating the voltage is dropping to under the limit.
A check with the multimeter confirms that the output voltage is 4.7 volts meaning it has lost about half a volt from the adapter, the device simply refuses to run on this lower voltage.
Bottom line:
The higher the voltage you are sending to your device, the more likely this method is to work.
Don't bother trying it with 5v devices / adapters unless you have an adjustable voltage psu (where by you can increase the voltage to compensate for the drop)
Thanks for the input. The wire is about 15ft
thanks you ... god bless u.
You're welcome!
Are the connections different for 100 Mbps?
Only pins 1&2 plus 3&6 are used for 100MB Ethernet. 4&5 and 7&8 are needed in addition for 1G+ Ethernet.
Explained here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet#Pinouts
I'm sorry i'm kinda confuse of what he said. Did he said that if you're Camera is 100mbps (for example), then this idea would work or won't work? Starting at 2:47, he said a very confusing statement there. Most network cameras are 100Gbps, using ethernet as power cord will work, but if gigabyte camera this will not work. But if a gigabit camera, the wires we will need will be utilize by the camera to transfer data. It's very confusing. Does this technique applies only to < 100mbps camera or should be 1gbps camera? My understanding is that, part of the threads in the cable will be use as the power source but the remaining threads will be use for network data transfer, right?
Yes. With this method you take out 2 pairs (4 wires) for power. 2 pairs left for data and this allow up to max 100mbps. For 1000mbps you need specail hubs or POE adaptors.
thanks
Your welcome
do we have to get an adapter of the same power. I want to POE a phone which take a 48V adapter but i dont have one.
if your phone did not come with an adapter, safest option would be to get a standard POE injector. Some Cisco phones can operate on POE or a power adapter, so if you have a model number on the phone, try looking it up.
Does it work
Why use wire strippers? Just use the side cutters to strip the insulation off the wiring, so much easier and quicker (only if you are comfortable using side cutters to remove the insulation. One's thumb nail could also be used with such thin wire). PVC insulation tape will in time start to undo due issues such as weather and elements. For a neater job I would use heat shrink at the joins and a larger and longer blue piece to cover the exposed cable instead of insulation tape.
i still dont get it...Does the ptz camera dont have input of 12v dc port?
Use local power
Man, an IP camera never transfer over 100Mbps of data, in fact it's hard to get to 50Mbps. So why are you talking about Gigabit camera ? I just want to understand better what you are saying. Could please explain ?
basically, his camera moves so he needs more power. but for a stationary camera you can do the same thing. It's just the amount of power to user that camera. If it were a normal ip camera then you could still do the same thing just with two instead of four wires. Nothing special here in that step of the process.
