I just got a feedback from the higher tier of NETGEAR Support. The NETGEAR 802.3af/at PoE switches supports ALT-A mode (Ethernet 1,2,3,6 pair) and will deliver power to PD’s (power devices), that should cover 10/100Mbps devices like the the IP camera you have mentioned. If only using 2 pair cable, the you must make sure that the PD supports ALT-A and must use CAT5 for 10/100M, or CAT5E for 1000M (4pair).
If ever your concern has been addressed or resolved, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!
