Re: [8023-POEP] Cabling and wire current capacities
Removing my chairman's cap for a moment
and expressing my personal opinions:
1) I am not intent on supporting outside
wiring and I did not see anyone at the meeting who was pushing it (I may
have missed though I was present 99.9%). As such I would say the
PHYs of EFM will not get consideration.
2) If anything that is being suggested
means my equipment can no longer push it as SELV, I am against it. I
do not believe that the voltages, amperages or wattages that have been
proposed push us beyond (or even close to) surpassing SELV.
3) No one can anticipate every bad installation
practice and correct for it in a specification. Had the installer
who tie wrapped the CAT5e cables to the steam pipe tied them the to the
furnace stove piping they would have combusted with or without power. I
would not say bury our heads in the sand; but, the idiots often prove too
resourceful to be thwarted at every turn.
