After looking for small/cheap POE powered switches, this is exactly where this project might head.

Edit: or maybe not because I found this http://www.amazon.com/BV-TECH-BV-RP1...powered+switch. The question I guess I have for myself now is would I be able to make something smaller/lighter, and I'd like to see if it would be possible to make sometime like this into a dongle that hangs securely off of the OM5P perhaps.
