You are a Very Good Teacher, explained in layman's terms, folks in the field.

[mrd]

Your videos are top Quality on IT sector!

In all my years working with Ethernet and PoE, I'd never heard of the Type 1/2 designations. I'd always seen and heard it discussed as 802.3 at or af.

So, good job on the video. I'm always happy when I learn something new from another YouTuber.

Your voice and teaching style is so calming and informative!

A wonderful video that has really set me straight in regard to POE. It was very well done and from a technical perspective very well explained. I now have a wonderful insight into how POE works and will be applying this solution to the current problem I have Merci Sir....

[KathrinHausermann]

Brilliant Video :)) I did not know Cisco invented the POE Standard :)) in your videos I can always be assured I learn something new I did not know before:)) Thank you very much for all the effort you put in your videos :))

In an effort to cut costs and increase profits, some sellers offer Cat 5 and Cat 6 cable made with CCA (copper clad aluminum) wire, small diameter wires such as AWG 26, or a combination of both. This has the potential to significantly reduce the output of the switch/injector. With longer runs, especially when using POE+ or POE++ it would probably be best to use a pure copper AWG 23 Cat 6 cable.
