How are the 8 lines used?

I thought that 100Mbps was due to the quality of the wire not to 
the number.

I ask because I think you can have Power Over Ethernet (PoE) over
standard Cat5(E) cable.  You need a special (and expensive) switch
but the system can be used in existing installations.  I thought
the PoE used two unused lines to provide the power.
