Quoted from TreyBo69:

It's pretty neat. The CAT-6 cable carries the data line between the node boards and a 48V rail that the node boards step down to the voltages they need for different applications (solenoids, LEDs, motors, LCD screens, etc). Reduces a lot of wiring and they can use one 48V switching power supply, instead of a collection of them providing different voltages or a bulkier transformer.

One thing that I recently read is that power over ethernet (POE) should be limited to one amp.
Anything over one amp exceeds the current rating of an RJ45 connector normally used on these cables, which can cause it to get hot.
There have been cases where exceeding this rating caused a fire.
People are now using power over ethernet to power things like exterior lights, cameras, etc, etc.
Exceeding one amp on such a cable is not a good idea, so be careful.
Most loads on a pinball machine like LEDs is probably not a problem.
But if you power some motors and solenoids, you could have an issue if you exceed one amp.

I just have to comment if this little tiny LED on the apron in the QR reader is distracting to someone, they should probably never play my machine.
I have an AC/DC Premium with lightning bolts that flash REALLY BRIGHT white blinding light, along with really bright LED flashers and LED GI throughout the entire playfield. I even added LED trough lighting and additional LED back box lighting.
I intentionally made everything as bright and flashy as possible and that was the whole idea on the machine.
If I could make it any brighter, I probably would and I am considering adding lighted flippers.
I have no need for additional pin stadium lighting that would make it difficult to remove when I need to raise the playfield.
I think some people might not like that, but it is my machine and that is what I wanted.
My wife commented that no one with epilepsy should ever play my machine, because it can be blinding at times and that is the whole point.
A little cool white LED on the apron would not even be noticed on machine, assuming it was available, and I do have lighted instruction cards also.
Just my thoughts.
