Get with the times, everyone's using Ethernet over Power now.

>>58952746
No and no. I use it when it makes sense. Its useful in the right circumstances.

>>58952746
do you need it? then buy a POE enabled switch. if you don't need it, don't get one... THIS IS A COMMON THEME HERE ON /g/

pretty much this

it's widely used in business when you don't want to run 110V to an AP on a beam in the middle of the ceiling of a warehouse or in the middle of a drop ceiling.

also even if you need it later you can always get an inline PoE injector.

Home is a strange use case since building/electrical code where I am specifies minimal outlet coverage but I could see it being used here and there or if you have an extreme hatred of wall warts.

>warehouse pic - do you really want to run BX to each one, especially since move to WLC based infrastructure means more APs with smaller radius?

what is electronic computing?

If you have to ask if it's a meme you don't need it and don't understand it.
