Hardware, Cabling, Installations / FT857D - 5V (or 8V) routed to Control AUX/MIC connector?

Hi,
The FT857D provides +5V on pin 3 of its RJ45 mic socket, which is useful for low-power accessories. This doesn't get replicated on the RRC1258MkII Control AUX/MIC socket with the standard strappings (I have the FT857D "bundle"). Is there an easy way to do it, i.e. does one of the unused pins have a voltage capable of supplying a small amount of current (say 10mA), so that it would simply be a case of adding one more strap? If that's not possible, any other suggestions please
Regards, Mark
