[TriLUG] OT: Getting Bulky Connectors Through Walls

[John Mitchell]

   Well, if this was for me, I would make an adaptor(actually two of them)
and run the 'power' over the four unused Ethernet wires.
(two wires for Positive, two wires for Negative). Note that this is NOT
true Power-over-Ethernet but it works quite well.
   Then you only need a hole large enough to run Ethernet cable through and
after pushing the cable out, crimp on an RJ-45 and plug into the adaptors.
