Getting back to the overall thread topic, today I pulled about 100' of cable through conduit using a pull string. Now my friends who have a B&B have a new POE-powered switch in their garage that in turn powers the wireless access point there. And we pulled another 100' or so through conduit from there to the house next door they bought and are renovating into a day spa, so they will have internet there all on one happy network!

Today I also learned that Ubiquiti's data sheets are garbage. The data sheet says the USW-Flex has a POE budget of 8W if powered from 802.3af. But it refused to power the access point until I set it to think it was being powered from a POE injector. Even so it's still only drawing 8W of the 15W available in 802.3af.
