HammerHead_0718 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I know I'm reaching here but is there such a thing? Imagine a cat5e/6 cable connected to a POE Ethernet to USB adapter that not only connects the nano to the internet/network but powers the device. One can only dream. Everything I see just supplies ethernet to usb power but no data. Please.... someone prove me wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laststand Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This may do the trick? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812705329&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audibleblink Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 That would be cool. It would let the Nano double as a LAN Turtle, limited by the fact that you must find a PoE jack wherever you're dropping this thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telot Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This would be pretty easy to hack up tbh as long as you're using a usb to the ethernet adapter plugged into your host port on that NANO (using my Turtle-Nano Soup instructions for connectivity). Take the POE pins off the ethernet cable, plug them into 5V, and have those pins go to a power-only USB cable. I'm on vacation, but I could hack something together and post it if anyone is interested in seeing it come to life. telot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's enough power over unpowered ports to fire up the device enough to tell the switch "hey, I require 12v at 1amp", or "I require 24v at 20amps" and the switch will then turn on power. I can guarantee running 24v at 20 amps will cook your desktop's network card, if you're lucky. Edited January 16, 2016 by barry99705 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerHead_0718 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 I will definitely have to work on making it happen. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
