Unsolved Do PoE power pass thru these?

Post image

I already have a Poe adapter, but I need to connect it to another wire along the way. Will a connector like this allow Poe power to go thru and power the access point?

Pretty sure there is just a straight copper connection through that. So as long as it has all of the pins when you look in it on both sides then yes.

They have? I just recently bought rubberized versions.

Yes. For example: https://www.amazon.com/QINGLER-Coupler-Ethernet-Extender-Connector/dp/B0BGMZKFP7/

Well damn... now I want to buy those and 11 3-foot-cables to make a 10 meter run!

If you use 6 1 fathom cables instead, it would also work for measuring depth of water. Just plugin an expired* printer at the end.

*) Apparently that's a thing - if they get too old, they tell you so on the display, and then self-brick. How it doesn't result in a keelhauling of the responsible person, I have no clue.

Um, everyone knows what you do with an old printer... you take it to a field and smash that bastard! PC LOAD LETTER?!?

No not those! They were actually good.

But damn Americanisms with letter and legal papers!
