If you mean powering downstream ports too there are some devices with
^^passive passthrough PoE^^, which just means that it will connect the
input power lines to one or two output ports. The entire current draw of
the switch and connected devices would have to be supported by the single
input line, so it^^s only useful for low-power downstream devices.

Confirmed, .. and, of course, there are power considerations. These
devices are just cameras, but the prospect of not having four four-port
switches in a building with four different wallwars is just nice to think
about.
