I have a requirement to provide 12v AC at around 800mA at the end of
20m or so of CAT5. Ignoring the issue of voltage drop for now what would be the best way to use the two "spare" pairs to provide the power?One pair for +V the other for -V or split the + and - across each pair? I suspect the latter, common mode rejection etc, but can't really "prove" it in my mind.
