Sorry, I am sure this does not really belong here, but I was not sure where it belonged and I figured y’all would have the answer anyway.

So yeah, If I have a POE switch, is there an adapter I can use to charge a cell phone from that POE port?

    AFAIK there are Ethernet to Lightning/Micro USB/USB C adapters and if there were I’d never ever use them. POE is meant for networking and Ethernet stuff not charging your cellphone.

      ;-). I asking if I could, not if I should…. :-). I plugged a usb-c ethernet adapter into the back of a Logitech light, and into the poe switch. And I got no light.

      I really just want to make it work for fun.
