DO NOT USE THESE ON THE CAT5 CABLE CARRYING KAT5 SIGNALS !!!!!

KAT5 uses all 4 pairs and you will cause damage.

By all means use a SECOND CAT5 (as Gareth does) to carry power from a
remotely located PSU but NOT THE SAME CABLE.

For Ethernet use they are fine because that only used 2 pairs leaving
the other two free for the power.
