|  Cat 5e Hub Wiring Question Okay here is the setup. We have four computer drops ran to a central location. The original plan was to place a hub in central location to connect them all together. From this location a wire already runs from the central location to the main office. Now they all have internet access. Here is the problem. I can not get power to the hub. What can I do? What happens if I splice all the drops together with the run to the main office? Can I use any of the leads from the main office to run power to the hub? Any ideas?? |

 | There is an IEEE standard out called "Power over Ethernet." You can also get switches/hubs that can get their power from the ethernet cable. Have a look here for some more info.
