I was thinking about Dish Network MDU setups. The switch they use gets power from the set top boxes via the coax cables. As long as any one of the set top boxes in the building is turned on, then the switch has power.

I was curious if there's an ethernet switch with a similar capability. I've got a place where I'd like to put a managed switch, but it would be easier and cheaper to supply a few PoE injectors than to install an outlet.

Anybody heard of such a beast, or am I hunting the white whale?
