This Wiki dosn't accurately describe the way Ubiquity deploys PoE Expect to encounter mode B on the T568B wiring standard for data over an 8wire / 4pair Cat 5e utp cable.

All of the AirMax and GL.iNet class devices have 100Mbps Ethernet ports. They receive power via that Ethernet port as well. 24V DC is sent over the cat 5e line. The DC voltage is injected on "spare pairs" unused by 100Mbps Ethernet. A fixed DC voltage is provided (positive voltage to pins 4- 5) and (negative voltage to pins 7-8.

GB-B240-100

This is a black 1 amp 100Mbps injector. Its not possible to obtain 1000Mbps port speed with a GB-B240-100, pins 4- 5 and pins 7-8 have been observe to no be connected on the LAN side of the injector.

GB-A240-050

This is a black .5 amp 100Mbps injector.

Don't forget the white model

This is a white .5 amp 1000Mbps injector.

GB-H240-100-4

You might ask... How do devices running at 1000Mbps Ethernet ports receive PoE? The G24102HKG chip is how! Data sheet 26528.pdf. G24102HKG SP1.jpg

This is a gray 1 amp 1000Mbps injector. Power is sent over all 4 pairs with data. The injector are found in the box of AirFiberX and AC-Gen2 devices. Its a Passive 1000Mbps PoE injector as well.

Tycon Power Systems POE-INJ-1000-WT Gigabit PoE Injector/Splitter 4 Pair

This is a Gigabit PoE Injector. This injector breaks in or out power, all 4 pairs are isolating allowing for 1000Mbps Ethernet speeds. Unlike the Ubiquity injectors you must supply a power source.

Caution! Connecting any passive or active 48v DC PoE source to a passive device will damage a passive device!

Great article that parallel my interest with POE.


Nanoswitch N-SW

G24102HKG SP1.jpg

The nanoswitch accept 4pair passive poe and 2pair passive poe for power. Then we have 3 types of devices being powered... one type runs 2 pair passive 24v poe and runs at 1Gb port speed. Two a device that runs on 4 pair passive 24v poe runs at 1Gb, and the most common 2 pair passive 24v poe running at 100Mb.  1Gb devices have power isolation on all 4pairs but may only pull from 2 pairs! Ive found that for an AirFiber3x device to reach full tx power levels while sharing a Nanoswitch with another 2 pair device the Nanoswitch needs to be feed 4pair passive 24v power.
