connector, P5
The PoE pass-through connector, P5, mates with the P20 header on the development
board. This PoE pass-through feature passes PoE power connections from the
Ethernet signal cable to the user’s equipment through P5. The PoE feature provides
a power source for compliant “powered” equipment, and is nominally 48VDC with a
possible 30–57VDC 13 W maximum range.
