I ordered this so I can charge an iPad in a vandal proof case in the hallway at work. There is no electricity nearby. I don't use it to send or receive data, just charge it. I had an old Cat 5e cable in my garage, so I attached two RJ-45 ends to it and connected it to my phone's charger using USB to Ethernet adapters. Cat 5 is 70 feet long. When I connected it to my Galaxy s7 phone, the charging alarm played and a message appeared saying "Charging is taking longer than usual, use the charger that came with the device" or something like that. The phone was already 75% charged. Normal charging (Galaxy s7 with fast charge) only takes 35 minutes, charging with USB to Ethernet adapter on 70ft Coil 5 with original phone charger takes about 3 hours. I checked the voltage with a voltmeter and it showed 4.98 volts on the USB port of the entire 70ft link. The iPad isn't used much, so slow charging isn't an issue. The bottom line is that charging with a 70ft 5e coil works. I'll have to try it on my iPad at work and see how it goes. To edit. I tried to get it working with an iPad 6 using a 70ft network cable but it didn't work. It just can't deliver enough power over that long a distance with the standard charger that comes with the iPad, even with a 10-inch Ethernet cable it won't charge. If I had a better PSU it would probably work. There is a link to add an extra power supply at the end of the run, but that doesn't work with my application.
