The talent reformed Apple M1 Mac Mini to realize the PoE network port power supply.
Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com August 2 news, hardware transformation expert Ivan Kuleshov recently posted a tweet showing the latest masterpiece: the successful transformation of M1 Mac mini does not require power from the AC adapter, but can be powered through the Power over Ethernet protocol.
Kuleshov first removes the Ethernet connector from the M1 Mac mini and then uses the magjack component used in the previous project, which provides power.
CTOnews.com Note: the M1 Mac mini consumes about 6W at idle, and does not exceed 40W even at full load.
Kuleshov said that the description of the retrofit project for M1 Mac mini will be released in the future.
