Do you know anyone who actually uses power over Ethernet? Every motherboard I’ve ever bought supports it, but I don’t know anyone who uses it.

Although the inverse, networking through your power line certainly used to be a thing. It looks like people still do it sometimes.

PoE is amazing for certain devices. Cameras (including video doorbells), and WiFi equipment.

I use it on every phone handset at work… I guess it’s the switch PoE not the pc mono but the effect is the same. If you are talking pc mobo PoE I guess it could be handy if you had a PoE camera…
