Regular Cat5/5e/6 has the lines needed. You have 4 pairs of 2 wires in Ethernet cable. 2 pair are used for data, leaving 2 pair. One of the remaining pair is used for power.
In order to use PoE, you will either have to have a switch/router with PoE ports (which supply the power straight from the router) or you’ll need to get a PoE injector. These can be had pretty cheap, I bought one to use with my IP camera for around $20 on Amazon.
No public wish lists :(
