Hey guys. As the title states, I need a USB hub that can continuously provide power to 5 iPad Minis. The iPads are to be wall-mounted, and the USB will be extended via Monoprice Cat5/6 extenders. A cleaner solution would obviously be something that has the Lightning connection on one end, which can be converted to Cat5/6, then back to a USB hub/power supply on the other end. Any help is appreciated.

Use iPort or FSR POE to USB charger and a POE switch.

There's this too. I can vouch for it.

I would try calling www.poetexas.com

They seem to be a small company in America so when you call you get good tech support, talk to a live person, and I never really had any hold times.

They also make POE Hub devices for powering mutliple devices over Cat5 e.  I used one of their hubs to power 4 Nest IQ Outdoor cameras which use a USB-C power supply and they worked great on long runs over Cat 6.


They have items like this:

This is exactly who I was looking for. We had used one of their products in the past & I thought I had seen the POE hubs. Thanks for refreshing my memory!
