[RFI] Is it true this is "immune" to generating RFI?

Maybe I missed it because I only took time to skim, but I didn't see 
where it said anything about not *generating* RFI. I saw one comment 
that said something about ethernet not being particularly prone to 
*receiving* RFI. My experience has been that PoE systems have all 
the usual ethernet egress of RF across the HF-VHF spectrum *plus* 
many of them have even worse issues caused by the switching power 
supply.

I have a PoE system that powers an access point located atop one of 
my towers. Its original power supply completely trashed 160 meters. 
I cured that by going to a DC injector and using a linear bench 
supply to provide power. Clearing up all the ethernet carriers while 
there is ~200 feet of CAT6 running up into the midst of my antenna 
farm is not so easy.
