No no no, *DO NOT* do this! -48vdc, but its very nature, is positive ground. If you plug in a +48vdc device with the polarity reversed it will boot up, and will probably link up via UTP patch cable to another device. If you plug in a STP patch cable, or a console cable with a ground, you will likely let the magic smoke out. Recharging the magic smoke reservoir can be an expensive procedure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
