    POE?

    Does the latest z-net have the ability to use POE?

    Any RPi can be powered by a POE connection.

    Historically here have used the TP-Link power splitters.

    There was a mention of a small footprint POE splitter on Amazon a couple of weeks ago relating to using the Dot or GV devices.

    Actually your post has me purchasing one to test out....

      I've used the TP-Link adaptor, the one Pete linked above and this one. I settled on the last one, because I like the left angle micro USB connector. My Z-nets are powered using that adaptor without a hiccup.

        I've got 3 or 4 of the same ones as Randy from POE Texas powering my Rainforest Eagle and Moca adapters.

          I think I've answered my own question, but just to make sure. I have Unifi switches which are 802.3af/at POE+. By plugging the above described devices into one of my switches, I can then get 5 volts to the Z-net?

          Thanks for the replies.

            Yes.

            Here power my tabletop touch tablets and remote RPi's with standard POE ==> POE 5VDC splitter like the one's mentioned above. (here use TP-Link).

              Both of mine are powered by Ubiquiti POE switches. They were powered by Cisco. Both work fine.

                  That's the one I use for my Google Home Mini's. So far so good. Note that if you use that specific one, it requires a 802.3af injector on the other end (instead of using passive POE).

                    That's the exact one I use with my z-net. I also use their injector on the other end in my SMC:

                    https://www.amazon.com/WT-AT-8-56v12...01IODMBRY?th=1

                    IF anyone reads this, consider getting the at version in case you want to use PoE+ devices as well. If you get the af version, you can still use the same injector for PoE+, but you have to get the bigger power supply. I think this is great for someone who doesn't want to use a PoE switch but still has some PoE devices. I use it in conjunction with a 24 port switch (the injector ss in the top right of the SMC. I've attached an image of it).

                      I have not had issues over the years with the TP-Link power splitters. Started initial POE for touchscreens (7 watts) using a Tycon POE 5VDC splitter.

                      Never did worry here about the RPi using POE.

                      I like the footprint of the new ones.

                      Here are some pictures:

                      TPLink POE power splitter - here installed one for OpenWRT micro router inside of Leviton Omni Pro 2 panel this past year.

                      This is the smallest POE splitter I have seen to date.
