No other product had Powerlink connections before the first one to have them! 😁
And it will be very poor design to have another RJ45 not for ethernet just next to one which is.

Ever owned an Essence (mk1 or mk2)? Ethernet, powerlink and infrared. All the same RJ-45 sockets sitting next to each other..

Then its poor design 😁 

No, that is jst a matter of simplification.

RJ45 is just a connector type - which can be used for different purposes.

C'mon Millemissen you're not believable here ;-)

The why use RCA for line In Figure of 8 for power. Just align a bunch of RJ45 everywhere and it will be more simple…
…Given you have a good lenses for close sight! and all circuits are well protected😁 

Sorry....nitpicking won’t help anyone.

it is a factthat B&O use the RJ45 connector rtpe for different purposes.

I didnt object the fact, i just say it is poor design because same connector for two close sockets with different purpose on the back of a device which is intend to be concealed is not a very convenient choice.

But to be fair (now i know you appreciate) I dont ever heard of someone burning an essence (no pun intend) by mistaking RJ45.😎

I still bet on two ethernet, because it makes sense. lets wait for the facts now.
