I found a website that has a calculator for Power over Ethernet at: http://www.gweep.net/~sfoskett/tech/poecalc.html which indicates that it could work - if I use more than one strand in the ethernet wire per power tap. But I am leaning away from that idea. Perhaps if I can do some more measuring of the acutal loads my devices will draw I will look at ethernet wire again. But it does look like 24 AWG wire is not the best choice for my application.
