[QUOTE="dm15644, post: 634862"] [b]AW: HDBaseT[/b] Hm... comparing with Power over Ethernet I think it's fair to assume that all pairs are used for both power and data. But still: (i) How do they think they get 100W though? For comparison, Power over Ethernet is limited to <13 Watts, and if they want to increase this to 100W but still use the same cables, the only option I see is to increase the voltage, say roughly, by a factor of 9... this would be >400 Volts then.
