Beg pardon, but I thought that the rule of Ethernet only using 2 pairs (4 wires) was no longer true. Specifically, anything that does Gigabit Ethernet uses all 4 pairs (8 wires), and PoE is still compatible because the signal is transmitted via a differential (which is also why it no longer matters if wire polarity is swapped).
Is this incorrect?
