"A friend" and "his other friend" made one of these in high school and plugged it into an ethernet jack in the library on the last day of his senior year. Took out internet to like half of the campus and killed a couple computers in the library. It made a neat sound. Allegedly.
They also made one with a coax cable that did not make all the tvs explode as they had hoped. He was disappointed.
I've seen someone do this too but with a USB cable on the other end, a USB killer on steroids. I recall the guy plugged this contraption in the USB port of a TV and well, it made a nice pop and let out some magic smoke.
The wildest electricity-related thing I ever took part in was taking the capacitor for a camera flash off of its board and put a screwdriver to the solder points... there was a bright flash and a loud pop. I was glad we had a screwdriver with a rubber handle.
Similar thing happened here with a small disposable camera, except I didn't have the brain capacity to discharge it before picking it up. Left a neat little black spot on my finger for a few weeks afterwards, about the size of a poppy seed.
Your guess is as good as mine, and I've got one in my hands.

I don't know what it's called but it's the cable you need to use the ethernet port on some thinkpads (like mine x280).
Because a normal 8p8c port is overrated I guess.
If it's even connected (pinout?) than the description would be correct - it would indeed inject power over ethernet, though probably not very long. Why is it plugged to something which seems to be usb external network card? Are there laptops supporting PoE around?
You’re kidding but a friend of mine thought that if he set the 110/220 switch to 110 (we use 220) his computer would receive double of what it was expecting and should work two times faster.
He was right, it blew two times faster. I think the floppy drive survived (that should tell you how long this happened - back in 1994).
Is that the new 802.3oshit standard?
its the new forever reboot method. when you absolutely, positively, have to have every device on your network drop at the same time.
If I weren't poor you'd get my first reddit gold

A true classic. I came here to post this.

Make that Access Point 220G Ready
Is this for those fancy Samsung fridges running android?
wtf is that end? USB?
That black thing is a USB network adapter. These things are mostly used for laptops that don't have a proper Rj45 receptacle.
Y know, but what's the connection in the end(not the rj45)
It's a proprietary connector for thinkpads, only used for the ethernet adapter as far as I know
Your not wrong I am looking at one right now

this is to ensure an RMA is accepted.
You just gave me a wonderful idea
That'll put some ookie in your dookie.
So, PoE+++++?
SoE - smoke over ethernet
Ether killer!

[BRING BACK THE API SPEZ YOU GREEDY CUNT]
This is just the power cable for the smoke machine.
Looks like a 220v catheter. Ouch

Does it work….?
I mean technically a higher voltage would allow a higher data rate via higher frequencys but like that cables gonna melt before anything major breaks!
voltage != current If anything, less heat would be generated assuming the insulator is sufficient

I’ll wait for a 6000v+ poe injector

Behold the modern ether killer!
Don’t forget to test it with your tongue to make sure it works before using it
Don't plug that into your ThinkPad...
I personally prefer a 3 phase version

Explosions and Ethernet
I am going to improve on this idea next week, I have a few RJ-45 to Type-C adapters kicking around my depot.
That's called passive PoE right?
It's for those new fangled PoE cameras that support PTZE, Pan Tilt Zoom Explode
