>power over Ethernet instead of AC

Did they used to get air conditioning over Ethernet? This doesn't make any sense to me.

AC, or alternating current, is a type of power. Usually available as a wall plug in your house.

AC in the context of electricity has meant "alternating current" for literally more than a hundred years. This is a you problem, not OP's, so turn down the snark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current
