Can this serve as a power source as well? null

A Cat-6 will carry power but does not act as a power source. As long as the devices that are connected with the cable support PoE (Power over Ethernet) and the devices supply power, then the cable will support the connection and will carry power.

Yes, as long as your device supports PoE. Mary II Best Buy Essential Customer Support

I'm using it to deliver "power over ethernet" (POE) to a POE-capable wifi access point from a POE-injector. So "yes" but only if your devices support POE.
