What about PoE for 10G Ethernet? I see that there are some vendors (e.g. Ubiquity) that are offering devices with it, but I don't see it in the standards?

My question is this: what would you plug into POE that would need 10gbe?

Ubiquiti sells Wi-Fi access points with 10GbE uplink ports that are PoE powered: https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wifi/products/e7

In theory at peak throughput the access point might use close to 10 gigabit. But definitely more than 1G/2.5G.
