# Power over Ethernet

Many of the devices in your Nimble are powered directly through the Ethernet cable.

Power over Ethernet allows both data and power to be transmitted between devices using only a single cable. This really cuts down on excess cables.

There is far more information on Power over Ethernet at [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_over_Ethernet)

# 3D Printing

>!! **TODO**

{{BOM}}

[3d printer](3dprinter.md){qty:1, cat: tool}
You will need a [3d printer](3dprinter.md){qty:1, cat: tool} and about 1kg of [PLA filament]{qty:1kg, cat:consumable}.

Using the slicer that comes with your printer, print the following parts. No parts require support. A brim is advised for all parts.

|Name| STL file| Qty |
|---|---|---|
| [bottom]{output, qty:1}|[bottom_v1.3.stl](models/bottom_v1.3.stl){previewpage}|1
| [rack legs]{output, qty:4}||1
| [Netgate Shelf]{output, qty:4}||1
| [NUC Shelf]{output, qty:4}||1
| [Omni Shelf]{output, qty:4}||1
| [Omni Shelf Lid]{output, qty:4}||1
| [Patch panel]{output, qty:4}||1

| [Raspberry Pi Shelf]{output,qty:1}| [RPi_4B_Shelf_v1.3.stl](models/RPi_4B_Shelf_v1.3.stl){previewpage}|1


You can [download all of the STLs as a single zipfile](all-stls.zip){zip, pattern:"*.stl"}
