jdogherman Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 does the Mark V support passive poe like the Mark IV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Power: DC in Variable 5-12v, ~1A, 5.5mm*2.1mm connector, International Power SupplyCertainly appears to! telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigthinker Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Power: DC in Variable 5-12v, ~1A, 5.5mm*2.1mm connector, International Power SupplyCertainly appears to! telot are you saying it supports POE because of the listed DC in? at 5-12 volts and POE supporting 25w give or take then it "should" work, did i follow you correctly there?

barry99705 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Passive PoE will work. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10759 I make my own, not as ugly as this, but it's the same idea. http://tech2.in.com/how-to/wifi-routers/how-to-make-a-power-over-ethernet-poe-adapter/223062 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Its a shame the passive POE is not built in :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Its a shame the passive POE is not built in :( It's a tough call when you're trying to add so much and yet stick with the same price point. I'm sure an adapter cable will be suitable for most installations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Is there space on the board that we can populate to make it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry99705 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Is there space on the board that we can populate to make it work? Most likely not. Standard poe switches push power over data lines, they also have circuitry designed to sense poe devices and not spit out power unless there's a poe device attached. Unless the poe circuit was designed into the pineapple, you can't add it in later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdogherman Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 A passive POE would not use those components though. Its odd that it would be excluded based on price as I would think the design could support it (as the eth0 is on 10/100; only using 2 pairs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
