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. > The reason for the series of PoE comments is to anticipate > the needs of the 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).
