Can I use cat 6 to power a wired doorbell (not elite)?

Question

I installed Cat 6 in preparation for using POE with the elite doorbell.  I was not made aware that the elite is NOT a flush mount  and I don't have the ability to install it in the exterior wall. Frustrating. So,  I'm now looking at using one of the Wired pro doorbells as an alternative.  Can I use that Cat 6 wire to power the doorbell with a transformer in my network room?  If so, which transformer?

Hi @meritage. Only the Video Doorbell Elite can be powered via PoE adapter at this time. The Video Doorbell Pro must be hardwired to an existing doorbell circuit, utilizing a compatible transformer. You can also use the[ Plug-In Adapter](https://ring.com/products/video-doorbell-plugin-adapter-gen-2) to plug the Doorbell Pro into a power outlet if you do not have an existing doorbell circuit. I'd recommend reviewing [this Help Center article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004668746-Comparing-Ring-Video-Doorbells) for a quick overview of the power requirements for each Video Doorbell model.
