The data pairs are used. Since Ethernet pairs are transformer coupled at each end, it
is possible to apply DC power to the center tap of the isolation transformer without
upsetting the data transfer. In this mode of operation the pair on pins 3 and 6 and the
pair on pins 1 and 2 can be of either polarity.

When to install PoE?
Consider the following scenarios:
•
You're planning to install the latest VoIP Phone system and you want to minimize
cabling building costs.
•
The company staff has been clamoring for a wireless access point in the picnic
area behind the building so they can work on their laptops through lunch, but of
electrical power to the outside is not available.
•
Management asks for IP Surveillance Cameras and business access systems
throughout the facility, but they would rather avoid another installation bill.
