We're using both the Tycon, and the Packetflux. Have also used the
stock UBNT injectors.
Oh wait. Did your know that some of the early Packetflux injectors were
mislabeled? But that reversed polarity.... Would expect that to let the
smoke out.

I am going to try a tycon power DC POE tomorrow, see if that will
work, just need to get it working at this point... Next step would be
to run a new Cat5. Current Cat5 is Apex9.

Another (totally hypothetical) thought would be perhaps one of the
pairs has a slight DC unbalance causing the DC current not to
split equally, thus causing some DC flux in one of the
transformers and degrading the pulse characteristics of the
transformer. Which could happen if the UBNT injector has
transformers with higher saturation specs than the Packetflux
injector.

*Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] Site Monitor Gigabit POE Injector Issue,
related to AirFiber 24
Is it an AF24 or 5? The 24 uses 50 watts. The power control relays
on the regular and GigE injectors will only handle 1A @ 48VDC. If
it's a 24, you're likely over that. The relay contacts are
probably fused.
The AF specific single-port injector uses a solid-state relay like
a SyncInjector and can handle 2A, or more, I forget what Forrest said.
That said, if the radio isn't getting enough power, it will be
unpredictable. I have seen this happen. Sounds like you've tried
the PacketFlux single AF injector and that does it too? Works fine
with the UBNT brick? I have no idea.

Guys this is not my first rodeo, This is the new Gigabit 8 Port
Injector and I have also tried the Packetflux Airfiber Injector,
same issue, switch to stock UBNT POE and it works fine. This is
an all DC site, with separate DC to DC converters and everything
is fused.....
See POE directions direct from Packetflux

It should not work with a regular POE injector. 50 watts is
too much current for 4 pins; you need to supply power on all
8 pins. And that, in turn, requires transformers to isolate
the data lines.
So I would not expect it to work at all with a vanilla POE.
Well, maybe it might work for a little while, and it would
probably only do 100baseT. Then the 4/5 & 7/8 pins will fry.

Anyone else seen any issues with the Airfiber Module or
running the Airfiber through the Gigabit POE Injector. I am
seeing an issue with TX data, RX works fine, getting full
bandwidth. TX I get about 2Mbps. Hooked up to Regular POE
and everything is fine, any ideas?
