Is it possible to charge my phone via Ethernet Cable??

[Yvander822]

I do not currently have a USB type C to Ethernet adapter but I am wondering if is it possible to charge my phone from the Ethernet port?? I just thought that it might work but does it really gonna work to charge via Ethernet cable?? If you answered my question, Thank you very much!!! Very much appreciated if you answered my question

I believe Ethernet ports transmit data and not electricity so no.

If I had to guess it wouldn't have the amps required to charge the phone.

PoE can deliver power but it also would probably fry your charge port instead. Different voltage and amp as its not ment to get power from that.

You can get poe to usb adapters, but there not cheap, and you need poe support, which isn't common on comsumer gear.

the voltage shouldn't be a issue as there is negotiation so poe only sends power if the device can accept and use the power.

PoE is technically able to provide enough power to charge a phone but you would need an adapter specifically designed to convert PoE to the 5V to charge the phone. (I don't think these exist)

I understand that but that's only if that is actually PoE theres no clarification. Not to mention for charging a phone I honestly would be amazed if it could negotiate with that.

Edit: Be amazed if hardware exists that can do that.

There are some, like this guy https://www.amazon.com/WS-POE-USB-Kit-iPad-Tablet-Female-USB/dp/B00AH5XCLC

you would need a device that converts the 48v to 5v, like this guy https://www.amazon.com/WS-POE-USB-Kit-iPad-Tablet-Female-USB/dp/B00AH5XCLC

 

poe only runs at 48v(for most standard versions, some others exist). It wouldn't plug directly into usb.

damn, didn't know they existed. I thought it was such a weird niche thing that they wouldn't bother.
I don't see why it wouldn't work as long you also had a USB C to ethernet adapter that allowed antoher USB C input for charging
