the passive ones just squirt power onto the line.

Does anyone know if POE injector products apply power to 4,5 and 7,8
permanently, or whether they implement the "negotiation" using the
resistor value?
I would be surprised if passive injectors implemented anything like
that. That more or less needs a microcontroller, to briefly apply some
voltage and see the current drawn. Or one of the pricey POE controller
chips from the likes of Linear Technology.

I see no reason you cannot use that ebay thing in reverse:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/151643358383
put you incoming POE into the POE side,
then you have normal connectors without power on the LAN side,
and you have the power available on what normally is the power input.
Apart from a large electrolytic and a green LED with series resistor
there is nothing else on that board.
The LED will warn you when there is power coming in :-)

Yes; the RJ45 jacks which support POE contain two bridge rectifiers so
that power can be drawn from either/both of the above modes.

AFAICT all these extra modes are negotiated; they are not permanently
powered.

That is really interesting. I didn't get this from my reading.
When reading the spec sheets for POE chips it turns out there are
loads of resistor values which are used to specify various modes. It's
a bit like the charging capability negotiation on USB.
The power source applies various voltages but it will be very briefly.

The standard allows the power to be on eiter 1,2+3,6 or on 4,5+7,8 so
that you can do 10/100 POE over 4-coductors if you have the right
source.
gigabit of-course needs 8 conductors for data. also I think there may
also be a high-power profile that uses 8 conductors for power.

a compliant switch needs to see about 22K ohms across the power
channel before it turns on the power if it sees much more or much
less resistance the power stays off (except for the sensing current
which is likely ballpark 100uA and possily pulsed).

Perfect; many thanks. They probably also make the counterfeit
HR911105A which I got from Ebay :)

No doubt. The maker's website http://www.huilyn.com crashes when you

I don't control the sending side though. So at the very least I need
those pins to be N/C.

Indeed; if you control both ends it's easy. For 10/100 you have four
wires to play with.

It is up to you, in a fixed setup there should be no problem.
Hey I also send 2 analog PAL cameras over the other 2 pairs of a shielded ethernet cable
at the same time as the IP ones, there is a little crosstalk, but it is just security,
so OK for me,
It is a free world ;-)

That's a brilliant lead - thank you!
However I can't find a data sheet anywhere, or even a seller, apart
from Itead in China.
I still can't quite get my head around the possibility that there is
continuous power on 4,5 and 7,8 because any client device with these
RJ45 jacks will blow up the moment it is connected to a POE switch...
AFAICT the above pins are indeed continuously powered, but the other
mode (where the power comes via the transformer taps) is software
negotiated.

I am using the HLJ-6115ANL
it does not have those resistors.
There are many POE standards, I use this to feed power into my cables:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/151643358383
because I know I have the above connectors on the other side..
It is a hack, do not plug it into your laptop or whatever.
Also I use a much lower voltage for POE.
I have those cable connectors marked red....
;-)
Never mind the standards.
If you want to sell your system you'd better get some standard stuff I think.

You need to get the relevant 802.3 standard and read it. There are lots of
variations, and without the standard in hand, it�s impossible to sort it
all out. The PoE Wiki mentioned above has the breadcrumb trail.
