[SOLVED] PoE Cat6 (female) to USB A (female)

[Jared1027]

Has anyone seen a PoE Cat6 (female) to USB A (female)? I've been searching without any luck. Is it even possible to create one?

What are you actually trying to connect?

Nest Cam Outdoor (USB A male head) to PoE Cat6 (male head)

On this very vague product page, it seems that one end is USB-A, ready to be plugged into provided wall adapter. What makes you think you can plug it into PoE?

I understand why the OP wants to do this. You can buy outdoor direct burial CAT6 cable very cheaply. But buying USB cable to power cameras is not as easy. This is strictly for power, you will need wifi to actually communicate with the camera.

This appears to be what you need: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/icomtech,-inc./POE-MSPLT-USB/15218823

Actually, this one from Ubiquiti is even cheaper: https://store.ui.com/products/instant-802-3af-to-usb-adaptor

This is great and may be exactly what I need! I ended up ordering something else although the problem is not having power to the Ethernet so I'm trying an additional solution: a PoE injector. I imagine that will solve the issue.
