A PoE hub for the MCU-005 should be compatible with Alternative A (Type A).
PoE stands for Power over Ethernet. In additon to data comunication, power is supplied through an Ethernet cable.
Power feeding of PoE has two (2) types: Alternative A (Type A) or Alternative B (Type B).
Alternative A (Type A):
Alternative A is also described as Type A. While pins #1/2/3/6 of Ethernet cable are used for data communications, the
same pins are used to feed the power to a connected device. The MCU-005 is compatible with this type.

Alternative B (Type B):
Alternative B is also described as Type B. While pins #1/3/4/6 of Ethernet cable are used for data communications, the
other pins #4/5/7/8 are used to feed the power to a connected device. The MCU-005 is NOT compatible with this type.
The MCU005 and MCU001-MCU005 mod kit are supplied by Furuno USA with a Mode A POE injector.
