No, powered USB. Go look it up :-) It is a way of allowing more power
to the device(s), by using extra wires to carry 5V, 12V or 24V at up to 6A.
Power-over-Ethernet, or PoE, is quite different -- it carries phantom
power at 48V.

No, of course not :-) But powered USB cables that use those plugs are
about the only use for them now, and the designers/manufacturers
actually describe the current types as being designed for powered USB.
All USB is powered by definition, and the connectors are fixed by the
USB-IF, www.usb.org.
I'm thinking you mean UTP, as in 10base-T networks?
In any event, thanks for the pointers to the cables.
