The Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit lets you put your access points almost anywhere, by removing the requirement of nearby power outlets. By using the existing Category 5 Ethernet cabling to deliver power to any standard 5 volt access point or other network device, you save the time, hassle, and expense of running AC power to the access points installation location. The best position for a wireless access point is usually on the ceiling, in the center of the area to be covered. Second best would be high on a nearby wall. Unfortunately, theres usually no easily accessible AC power plugs available in these locations. With the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit, installing the access point in these preferred spots becomes far less trouble.
12 Product Solution . Linksys makes a version of this unit ( WAPPOE12 ) - that is designed for 12 volt systems.
This review is from : Cisco-Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit
Only complaint is that they didn't offer it two years ago... . Perfect, simple product for the nagging problem of getting line voltage near your electronics. Other versions have been available from other sources for a while now, and you could always roll your own, but this is a nice, elegant, reasonably priced package that does precisely what it should do.
By the way, the other reviewer's comments about mixing 5 volt and 12 volt components is incorrect. You should NOT use a 5 volt power source with a 12 volt device. Granted you *probably* won't damage it, but IF it works - which is unlikely - it will probably be unreliable. I'm an Electronics Engineer with over 25 years of career experience; it's up to you whom you should trust!

Cisco-Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit Reviews
Great Product Shouldn't Be Used With 12V Equipment. . I'll be the second engineer to tell you not to use this product with any 12V equipment. Devices require some fixed amount of power to operate and when you supply 5V to a device that expects 12V, it's going to get the power, at the expense of drawing over twice as much current. This will cause the device to operate outside its operating specifications, probably run hotter, and probably fail earlier.

Cisco-Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit Opinions
Easy to use . The hardest part I had in setting up the product was identifying the ethernet cable that went to the remote location. After that was taken care of, I plugged everything in and it worked. (Yes, I'm working on labeling my cables.)

Also useful for 48V DC POE devices . Appears to implement 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE) standard in full. Marked down because the documentation supplied and available on Linksys web site is so dismal.
I'm using it with a Cisco 7960 phone, though that requires a custom cable with pins 4&5 swapped with 7&8, since the phone uses Cisco's pre-standard POE pin-out.

It really does work with 12v . I have the WRT54G v.2 that uses a 12 volt power supply. I plugged this PoE in and it worked right way even thought it said 5v output. It has been running now for 4 months with no problems. I guess the reviewer who is "the engineer with 25 years experience" was incorrect- experience does not count for actually doing it.
Last review about 5volts versus 12volts is incorrect . The last review saying this product will not work with Linksys's 12volts products is incorrect. The general rule of thumb is NOT to supply a HIGHER voltage than the device specification recommends because you will definitely damage your device, including make it smoke. For example, never input 12volts into a device which requires 5volts. However, if you input 5 volts into a device which requires 12 volts, the device will usually be OK. The Linksys POE works perfectly with all my 5 volts access points, some which are not even Linksys.
Cons Review
5 Volt Only - won't work with WRT54G v.2 or WRT54G"S" . The newer Linksys products including the WRT54G v.2 use a 12 volt power supply and will not work with the WAPPOE. Linksys lists on the product page for the WAPPOE that it will work with the WRT54G but in reality it will only work with the v.1 and v.1.1 that use a 5 volt power supply.
great idea poor POE standard support . says it will work with standard POE on Linksys WAP200 without the endpoint adapter, but it made the ethernet flaky. to get it to be reliable I had to use both ends.
