Re: pic: Power Over Ethernet for 2017

How do you comply with wire gauge restrictions when doing this? Most ethernet cables are 23-26 ga. (usually 24) but 22 ga. is required in the manual for 12v 2a. Would it be legal to crimp 24ga (either from an ethernet cable or individual) wire into the RJ connector then solder the +v pair to a 22ga wire heading to the VRM and the same for the ground?
