Didn’t realize that was part of the spec. But wouldn’t that be 4 devices? 2 wires per device for tx/rx and power +/-.

I love PoE, but there are some hard limitations to that idea. Mainly cost per meter of cable, but also in the amount of runs that would need to be completed to accomplish that. I cant splice two ethernet cables together and run one to a nearby light or other device without a switch, which means more equipment or more cable to make it work. Also, being 48v, it will have a lower overall efficiency compared to direct wiring with 110-220v, especially with the higher resistance of ethernet vs 14ga romex. That being said, I’d love to see 48v dc in home outlets.
I thought the same thing. Was looking for the overall color temperature of the scene, but none really fit.
Unfortunately, if there’s any hope of lemmy really taking off, they’ll come eventually. All popular sites and services have to deal with it at some point.
The cost has shot up and down post COVID. Cat6 is typically the better option as it uses thicker conductors. Cat6 is 23ga iirc. I paid $85 for 1000ft on my last project
