commonly those ports are just passthrough / surge protecting. Nothing to do with POE.

It's a very good idea to protect the network cabling from a surge event its better than nothing in place. :thumb: Only thing to be mindful is insure the RJ45 jacks support a full gigabit and not just 10 / 100 Mbps.
