Hi,
I do not know the voltage spec off the top of my head; we really only
support the included 24V PoE. I do know that 48V is too high and will
not work. At 24V, I believe the power draw is under 15 Watts; that
consumption goes up if the supplied voltage drops significantly below
24V.

Well, it’s a fairly straightforward question. Whereas they could
feel the Tx and Rx specs depend on a lot of factors, making the
question complicated to answer.
So let’s try.
Chuck, Ben, or whoever from the airFiber team at Ubiquiti reads
this list. Pretty please, could you tell us the min/max POE
voltage for the airFiber 5X?
If nothing else, those of us who are OK with 24V nominal probably
would like to know if 30V would let the magic smoke out, since we
have DC sites where the radios run off batteries.

They won't even tell you the Tx power or RX sensitivity, so
voltage range I'm sure is out of the question.

Mike, have you asked them for a voltage spec? If it turned out to
accept 20-60V you’d probably change your mind and say that is
brilliant.

24v works way better for me. All my sites are 24v. I have to
upconvert to 48v when needed. There is no easy fix because I
cannot fit two more batteries in my cabinet, and it would be a
total rework even if I could. So it was me and the ten or so that
I'll buy. Thanks UBNT!

Or, ya know, somebody might have asked for it, and wanted to
buy a million units, and already had 24V at their remote small
cell cabinets, or something like that. The description does
say carrier backhaul radio, maybe that’s a hint.
WISPs in the US are one market for Ubiquiti, not the only
market. It’s possible this decision makes great sense and the
reason isn’t apparent from our/your perspective.

24v... because UBNT must do something to fuck up a product.
Just use 48v on everything! First three products use
essentially 48v... . than let's do a 24... because!

I notice that the AF5X does not have a power consumption
value. The data sheet is no help except that it says the
thing uses 24V 1a POE injector. That implies a maximum of 24
watts. So less than 24 watts. Anyone have one installed that
has measured actual power consumption? If they're running the
POE at 50% duty cycle, that would suggest about 12 watts.

Yes, we do have too many variants. It is
being streamlined in the AC line with
NanoBeam, Powerbeam (still will have
multiple sizes).
NanoBeam = all integrated
PowerBeam = inner feed/dish design
It is a challenge with sku's since may
sku's are needed for different areas of
the world (i.e. some products are very
popular here and not as popular in other
parts of the world).
Would chart help?

Ben, you guys have too many product

better naming. Like NanoBridge,
NanoBeam, PowerBeam, NanoBeam AC,
PowerBeam AC. I honestly don’t
understand the difference between a
NanoBeam and a PowerBeam, or why one
has models by antenna gain in dB and
the other by antenna size in mm.
And of course the NanoStation Loco,
why is it Loco? Because it’s crazy small?
Then there’s the M vs W thing.
My head hurts.

Here you go:
Lite - No airPrism, will do PTP and PTMP
PTP - PTP only, airPrism
PTMP - PTMP only, airPrism
These are split due to the filtering
used for each (maximize PTP and PTMP
performance). We won't split unless
there is a performance reason to. The
cost is same either way...
How much is the budget? Consider AF-5X?

I am looking at replacing an old

I dont know whats what now, is
this a permanent separation with
UBNT of ptp and ptmp or is this
two things that are going to converge?
Other than the Ac component, for a

there any major benefit of going
to the AC over the M5 in terms of
performance? (future demand is a
factor as well)
Also considering the epmp, goods,
bads uglies between the three
products there?
