If I have a 802.3af compliant switch (IEEE PoE standard), do I need to use the PoE injectors that are included in the package? Thanks!

Actually Ubiquiti sells 48v (802.3af) to 24v midspan adapters. Indoor and an outdoor version. About 20$So you can plug the adapter at the poe switch or dangle from device (camera, access point) depending on model.Google search "INS-8023AF-I" or "INS-8023AF-O" indoors, outdoors respectively.

Aircam uses Passive POE and doesn't work with IEEE 802.3af. (I hate it when people choose to ignore standards!)

They take standard, I have mine connected to a TRENDnet TPES44 PoE Switch, and they work fine.

i will tell you just one of the things... there are many. Pro uses standard POE so you can plug it into your POE Switch. the non-Pro you need the brick it is shipped with.

It is not the purpose of these devices to provide POE. Their sole purpose is to provide a power-line Ethernet extension that is more reliable than wireless and reaches locations wireless adapters can't.

Most Engenius (outside) devices have a proprietary PoE, which is included. All the outdoor ones have an included PoE injector that comes with the devices. Some of the new (inside) devices and use a standardized PoE, or a PoE switch.

Shouldn't this switch be 802.at compatible (or as Cisco calls it, PoE+)? I need to power 2x 30W AP's. The datasheet suggests that it is.

Doesn't look like it will. From the Engenious specs: Active Ethernet: (Power-over-Ethernet) Proprietary PoE Design. They want you to buy their PoE injector.Why not go with Ubiquiti instead? I have several of their products installed and never had a problem or failure - only issue was one of their POE-15 power supplies failed on me.

No. Any switch that supports POE will very clearly say so in the description.

Yes it is. I have installed over a 100 of these units without any problems. You should have 4 switchable POE ports and one non-POE port for up link to your network. Make sure all switches are in the power on mode for each port and you should be good to go. If not, request a return for new product.

The word "passive" in the description means that it doesn't do any switching. It passes the signal straight through - it's just a patch. I confirmed that with the vendor. It does no protocol checking or anything. It just adds the power to the wire, without even checking that the target device can handle it. So be sure you only attach POE enabled devices to it. You have the 48 volt version, so the devices should conform to IEEE 802.3af, which expects 48 volts.

This device is an injector only, not a switch. For each connected PoE device, you must also have the respective LAN port connected to a switch. And you'll need 2 AC power outlets, one for the injector and one for the switch. You're probably better off with a PoE switch (my preference).

Yes. I use it with POE 100% of the time. I've used about 50 of these with redline Wimax (48v 1.5amps). It says POE right in the title....

Yes you need to have a POE device, you don't have to buy a new router/switch though. You can buy an injector such as this one TP-LINK TL-PoE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter, IEEE 802.3af compliant, Up to 100 meters (328 Feet) I did a measurement on the load of this device and with everything hooked up it draws about 4.5 watts and with the LEDs enabled it bumps up to 5.5 watts. This is your best low cost choice. If you want, there is also a barrel power connector pig tailed onto the camera. But it doesn't come with a power supply and I don't really know what the power requirements are. You would have to buy the power supply after finding one that works.

Yes it comes with a 12V AC adapter but not a POE injector. You can use it with this AC adapter in a location where you have an electrical connection available otherwise you will need a POE injector to get current to the remote location

I wasn't able to get it to work with a Poe wireless bridge. But our network eng was setting up a vlan at the same time and we were having problems with that.

Yes, this unit is PoE. That's the only way it works. If you don't have a PoE switch, it has an adapter for you. If you can get a chance to read a PDF manual all the details are stated there.
