I have had conflicting information about the use of 802.3af power over ethernet at 1000base-T on Cat5E cable. Some people tell me there is no problem, other says that it is not supported. I have googled and read the 802.3af spec and it does seem to be supported. Can anyone shed any light on the current status. I am aware that 802.3at POE+ is designed to operate at a higher power and at gigabit speeds, but is the current situation just down to individual manufacturers.
