Suggestion in the title. Roku Ultra states on its spec page that it "typically" consumes only 4.5W of power. That's well within the envelope for being powered via PoE or PoE+. It would be an awesome feature to reduce the clutter of various A/V bricks and power cables.
Pretty please?

Bump....POE would be appreaciated to reduce brick Clutter
Bump a third.
Bump 11/2021. Any POE or at the very least a micro USB or 5.5x2.1mm power jack rather than the odd sized 4.75x1.7mm jack currently used so that standard 3rd party POE splitters could be used. I mean seriisly, 3.5w of power is hardly a challenge for USB or POE and a built-in power transformer could easily adjust 5v USB to 12v or 48v POE to 12v.
Here are 2 POE Splitters that could be used with the right jack on the device even if the feature isn't built in:

Very valid point. Being compatible with a POE splitter would work as well!
POE is something that you don't ever see in some bigger businesses let alone homes. A POE adapter still needs to be plug in an external power supply. POE switches cost a lot of money.
Bump!
Bumpity bump bump!
Bump
Small 4-port & 8-port POE switches are dirt cheap these days. Please add POE to all devices that have an Ethernet port. Time to add POE indoor and outdoor cameras too!
Agreed, and bump! Should be standard now!
