Sort out the Cat5 cables and provide and RJ45 socket at the other end is a 20 to 30 minute task for someone who knows what they are doing or an hour if they need coaching.

Remove all Cat5e cables, get a twin gang Euromodule faceplate with a single RJ45 socket and punch down to that. At the other end fit an RJ45 faceplate and punch down cable to that ...

Okay. The phone extension socket in my study that would be converted to a RJ45 point feeding back to my fuse cupboard currently has my ADSL router and my HP MFP Printer plugged in for Fax. Once the socket is converted to an RJ45 point will I lose the fax?

Yes you would - if all four pairs were used for the Ethernet connection. But, as the Infinity service is 80Mbps, and modem 100Mbps, it could be wired using 2 pairs only to provide a 100Mbps link and another pair use for telephony.

Heh sorry! Didnt see your reply first!

With a little more work that can be achieved. You can even safely put 100meg ethernet and phone down one piece of cat5 by using one of the spare pairs for the phone signal

And it looks like I copied ypu again, sorry!

As ever with ebay, no spec, i.e. which poe standard, power rating etc

All relevant information is listed there clear as day.

It's passive. It clearly states the standard is passive

The only spec that matters for passive is connector size. It specifically shows the connector size and states it in mm.

Power rating is limited by what you connect to it, not the adapter.

And the current abd voltage ratingng of the cable. And whether you want to repurpose other pairs for telephiny as well.

The listing explicitly lists every PoE standard whch is implemented by said product

The cable is what you connect to it.

You can't use other pairs for telephony. The adapter only works with ethernet.
