Power Over Ethernet

http://kevinrose.typepad.com/kr/2004/09/power_over_ethe.html This is a very cool technology. 3 Com does the same thing with their IP phones. We have a 3Com NBX100 at work. We can simply add a card into the phone system that put out power over the ethernet cable. This way you can plug in an IP phone into the network and with out any additional power cables the phone works. Those power cables are really a pain in the ass... Anyway, just thought that was cool.....
