POE Configuration - Cat6 Cable Pinout
Project: Install security cameras throughout the house, alarms, etc. In addition, all devices that are plugged into wall outlets I want to now power with the switch.
Internet: T-Mobile
Router: Deco Mesh (Not Remembering model at moment)
Security System Installed: SimpliSafe Cameras, DoorBell with camera, Motion Sensors, etc.
Testing so Far:
I have tried configuring / wiring Cat6 cable in various pinouts. Currently using the T-568A Pinout. There is nothing wrong with the Cat6 cable, tester proves wiring is 100% correct. In addition, my laptop when connected to the cable functions properly using hardwire.
This is where my problems begin.
I have an indoor camera that utilizes an adapter with a USB Micro B connector. Power is supplied at 5.0v, with around 1Amp. The cable has 4 wires (White-Black-Red-Green). These 4 wires are connected to RJ45 connector using pins 4, 5, 7 and 8.
I connect a patch cable from the switch to a wall plate connector. Then I connect the camera to the wall plate. No matter the configuration of the 4 wires on the camera, I am not able to get it to power on. I believe the switch is configured properly for the POE.
Note: The indoor camera is NOT designated as POE capable, but all I want to do is supply power the the camera, and let the internals of the camera take over in the security system base station.
Help in any form greatly appreciated.
