What a shame that they don't have screw holes.</p>

Or do I need to go back to school and learn my numbers and shapes?</p>

This is related to the RJ45 jack that is used. If you use the SparkFun PRT-00643 which has the locking tab at the bottom, the pins will be reversed (the square pin is pin 8). If you use a jack with the locking tab at the top the pin numbers will be correct.</p>

The pins are in reverse: i.e. the pin 1 designation is actually designating pin 8.</p>

I almost fried something in a PoE-setup :)</p>

Wish that board included the LED pins, with grounds routed together and 0805 resistor footprints on the board. That would make this a plug-in solution, as it stands I have to route this stuff myself. Kinda a hassle.</p>

I just wished there would be mounting holes, because the cable can pull quite a bit...</p>

Our FIRST Robotics team replaced most of our servo PWM cables with Cat 5 using these.<br>
Only comment: It would be nice it the board had two more holes in it so you could easily fasten it down to another surface.</p>
