I did one the other day on an old style POE. I managed to cut the wires
without blowing it up, but the crimp did it in.

It doesn't seem to hurt most power supplies, but I always try to be
quick about it when I do it... it all depends on the situation though,
in some cases it isn't worth the risk even if it is small.

That's just the first issue. As someone else mentioned, you also
short all the pins together when you crimp the RJ45 on. Are there
plastic or ceramic crimpers?

I guess you could buy ceramic scissors like these:

Gotta be careful. If you cut across all the pairs at the same
time, you
will definitely short the output of the POE injector. Newer
ones might
be able to deal with that as long as the short doesn't last
too long.
However, you can usually cut each color separately without
doing any
harm. The challenge is getting them the same length.

Is it possible to cut into a POE injected Cat5/6 run
without frying stuff?
I think I've done it on regular Ethernet without causing
damage to the Ethernet port, but maybe I'm pushing it with
that too?
I know the safest way is to unplug the Ethernet cable,
then do the splice/work/end on it, then plug it back in,
but would be really nice if I didn't have to bother the
home owner when fixing/splicing a live run to the outside
of the house.
