I just changed out most of my entire display from 5v to 12v and moved from several esp32 and quinled based controllers to a Kulp 16A-B. Along with that I grabbed some differential receivers from Wally's Lights. I hooked them up and they work great. My question, which I can't find anything about in searches, am I safe running 5v pixels off the differential with a 5v PSU while the main Kulp board is at 12v? Obviously, setting the jumper on the differential to 5vis necessary. I'm just unsure if there's voltage carried in the cat6 line other than data signal. I'd ideally like to use the 1000+ pixels i've already got pushed into a bunch of props, but I'd also rather be safe than buying another controller. 
Thanks!

The differential data doesn't care if either board is running on 5V or 12v. If the sender and receiver will run off the desired voltages then you have no issues with 12V running 1 end and 5V running on the other.

This is what I thought, thank you for the direct clarification!
