Using several POE adaptors downstream of GS105 switch. Is it OK?
I have a GS105 switch that I intend to use in a 4G Internet solution in a remote area. I have an antenna with a built in that modem and router that outputs via simple ethernet cableThe anenna is po...
That's more a question you should raise with the makers of these crazy proprietary "PoE" adapters and hardware.
The DC path should be isolated towards to the switch, and only provide power to the powered device.
Nothing the switch can and must do against this here.
You should be able to. the POE injectors are usually setup so it isn't backfeeding voltage.

Thank you, I guess that's what I was asking really. That's why I posted in the Netgear forum.
I was rather hoping that the ports on the GS105 switch blocked DC but couldn't find any documentation that said so.
- Well, the PHY are still made with couplers on all Ethernet copper ports.
Speaking of standards, DC does never belong to an Ethernet link, except for IEEE standardized and explicitly negotiated between the PSE and the PD. Any kind of other wannabe "passive PoE" does always imply risks.
