A powered patch panel is for the POE devices that you can terminate your drop cables on and then patch to an ordinary data switch.

I am not familiar with a powered patch panel, although maybe it would come back to mind if it was explained to me?On Tue, May 28, 2013 at 6:20 PM, tech4u <techconsultant4u@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:techconsultant4u@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:Why not try a powered patch panel.

I knew next-to nothing about it when I bought it; I did know thatit was going to cost me $60. Now all I need is a nice 242-port switch to hang behind it. (As it stands, I have a mix of small un-managed throw away switches just waiting for a lightning strike to give me an excuse for upgrade... But they will meet my needs for now.)

I bought one on e-bay for $60 earlier this year. My tests show that 23/24 ports are providing poser, and that the unit is manageable, so it seems like a good deal. The only bummer is that I will need to get a bunch of 2-inch long patch cables to go from my switch to the injector! :) (Not really. I am joking. Poking fun at a change-resistant IT company that had dozens of such patchcables...)On Tue, 2013-05-28 at 16:19 -0400, M.
