Using PoE

Does using PoE considerably degrade network speed? I'm planning to use
PoE to power a bridge that's 75 meters away. The bridge will be
connected to a parabola antenna. Thanks for any information.

Not at all if it's working properly.

PoE just makes use of an unused pair in the cable, and should also
accomodate line losses. It doesn't bother the ethernet signal at all
unless there's something wrong with the unit.

No it doesn't. It should have no effect on ethernet operation.
