Has anyone done this? On an IP500 I have one Cat6 cable run from a POE switch to an office where I need to add a second 9608 IP phone. I connected the second phone to the computer port on the first phone with a brick power supply in between to power the second phone. It seem to work fine so far; but I was just wondering if this can cause problems in the long run.Thanks.

IMHO, this is what we do for fun in the lab, not at a customer.
Run two cables from the patch panel, or have a least a small PoE switch feeding the two phones.
Piggybacking can get nasty. A clean network is what you want, not a spaghetti deal.
Kind regards

Technicaly this will work
in a production environment it will cause no end of headaches making the customer think either:-
1) The system is crap
2) The installer/maintainer is crap
3) Both

Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear
