Fair point. PoE is 48V and current limited, though, precisely to keep it what the Code calls Low Voltage. On March 19, 2014 1:26:54 PM EDT, William Herrin <bill@herrin.us> wrote:

From: "William Herrin" <bill@herrin.us> Yet an 18 awg PC power cable is perfectly safe when plugged in to a 5-20R on a circuit with a 20 amp breaker. Get real man.
A PC isn't a power distribution device.
There are no power cords coming from the power supply that the PC power cable plugs in to?
The modification cancels the UL certification. If you have an external requirement to use only UL certified components then you can't make any modifications no matter how obviously safe they are.
UL doesn't "certify" items. It "lists" them.

By the way, you either don't have that requirement or you're breaking it. Your custom network cables are not UL certified.
Network cables don't carry power.
