I got rid of wifi. I've been using two dongles to connect ethernet to iPhone. The apple USB camera adapter then a USB to ethernet adapter plugged into the Ethernet from my router. I'm now installing a full network with a POE switch. Is it possible to hook the POE cat6 directly into a female USB keystone and put into wall plate so that I can just use my regular USB to lighting cable that came with the phone and plug it into the USB to get Ethernet? Therefore bypassing the two dongles needed?

My guess is no but I am somewhat unclear what you are actually doing.

There are 2 type of usb to "ethernet". The first is a USB network adapter that is say a 10/100/1000 ethernet nic card. This will hook to any networking equipment just as if you had a internal ethernet port on the device....assuming you have the correct device drivers.

The other devices are not actually ethernet but many people call them that because they use the same cable. They do not actually send ethernet over wires. They more than likely are sending serial data over the wires. They are in effect a long USB cable, they are not a network adapters.

The 2 devices are used for 2 different purposes. The first type is used to connect to a network. The...
