PoE Switch - How to extract power?

[woodchuck]

I just ordered a Cisco SG200-26P for my home. I had hoped to use it to power an AP, and a couple of security cameras. These devices are not natively PoE capable. Is it possible to use one of those injectors (actually the extractor part) from one of the Amazon kits to pull power out?

Edit:
I think I need one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/handle-b ... f_1_glance

Huh, can't edit? Must get disabled after some amount of time... Here is the link to the product page:

I'll report back if it works, but I'm pretty sure it should.

POE is a 2 part mechanism. The device you want to power has to support POE. You can get power to the device via either a POE capable switch or using and injector. The injector only sends power towards the POE end point device.

At the switch there are 2 possibilities when the specs mention POE. Either the switch can provide power to POE end points or it can itself be powered by POE from another source. If it can power end points it will usually state in the specs how much power it can supply in total. That number is used to calculate against when deploying end points.

I'm not sure if there are any specific compatibility issues, between that TrendNet splitter and your Cisco PoE switch, but generally speaking, yes, that device should work for your application.
