Would a high voltage electric charge be sent over Ethernet cable and can that fry/electrocute a machine (PC, laptop, router, switch, etc)? Would such a charge fry/electrocute a passive fiber tap device?
Would it simply require connecting specific Ethernet cable pinouts to wall power outlet?

Electrocution is the wrong word. This happens to a living organism be it a person or animal, like it could happen to you if you try this, so not recommended.
