Abstract
A method of extending the usable length of a power-over-ethernet cable includes the steps of providing twisted pairs of wires with the conductor of each wire being a 20 AWG or 22 AWG conductor and terminating the cable at an RJ-45 style connector. The connector for the 20 AWG conductors has an insert therein with holes that can accommodate 20 AWG conductors. FEP, PVC or PP insulation may surround each conductor.
