Ok, don't shout.
Cat 6 cable already installed going to a kitchen island. It feeds 1xcat5 data point.
Would it be, setting aside perfection for a moment, possible to use the non data pairs of a cat6 data cable to power 2 short pieces of RGB LED strips? How many of the 4 pairs are actually servicing the data point? If it's 2 pairs, then are the other 2 pairs redundant? 1 pair leaving 3 redundant?
This is with a view to cutting, splicing and hijacking the cat 6 under the island, and doing the same 1.8m away at the plinth where it reemerges, but still retaining the use of data and the cat5 outlet as normal.
Its low voltage so no legal infringements as far as i can see?
Ill get my tin hat polished.
TIA
