Perhaps someone from this august list can offer a clue here.
Have: Cisco 3524-PWR (paleo-POE, pre-802.3af Cisco standard).
It runs the 7960Gs great.
Have: Wireless AP stuff that wants 12v on the unused pairs for
passive POE. 48v will let the magic smoke out.
Might buy: phone that does 802.3af
Want to run these with the 3524-PWR.
I can't imagine that nobody makes a bump-in-the-wire converter for
this application, but haven't been able to find anything other than
802.3af to the passive POE use case.
Anyone got a pointer for me?
Thanks,
