I think the problem you are having is looking for a pre-built module=20
when most devices that will need POE have it implemented in the main=20
board . The cost to build your own POE converter is really low, can=20
easily do it for under $10.
Put two bridges, a MAX5940 and a MAX5014 , a few resistors and you are=20
done.\
