LPS, NEC Class 2, et al, all have voltage, current and 
possibly overcurrent protection and power limitations 
placed on them **at the source**.  The load becomes 
irrelevant to such circuit designations.

PoE, to my knowledge, isn't recognized by AHJs.  They may 
try to impose a TNV type of designation, for their 
purposes, which they do recognize (I've heard of at least 
one case of this).
