[Elphel-support] POE card in custom enclosure?

[Sebastian Pichelhofer]

I guess it would work If the voltage range matches.

What about 2 of these?

I assume your router will be inside the custom enclosure so these have
the advantage that only the connectors that go to the cameras are on
the outside surface of the custom enclosure and the cables inside the
enclosure can be routed easier.
