Power POE switch with passive injector/splitter

[richard951 0]

Here is what I plan to setup:

Remote Pole with 3x POE ip cameras + 1x 4 ports POE switch.

To minimize cabling, can I run 1 Cat5e from the house through conduit, using passive POE injector and splitter to power 48VDC to the POE switch, then from the switch powers 3x POE cameras?

Are you asking if you can run 1 line from your main switch in the house through a conduit to a second poe switch and then run 3 cameras off that?

 

If so the answer if yes but you cant power the switch over poe. I'd recommend having a gigabit connection between them though.
