The one I have sitting here says Phihong but it’s old enough to be
Motorola not Cambium.
If Cambium was worried about losing a bunch of sales, they wouldn’t be
dropping the product. My guess is it’s a minimum order thing. They
probably have to order X thousands at a time and the last order took
them a year or two to unload to distributors, and it was time to
decide whether to order another container load of them and have them
take up warehouse space, plus now they would be carrying two versions
of POE.
So if CTI or another distributor wanted to order a bunch direct from
the manufacturer (or a knockoff from somewhere else), it would be
reasonable to expect Cambium to give the OK. I wouldn’t expect them
to cry over the lost revenue though.

That will be really funny if CTI sources them and moto looses out on a
bunch of sales, lol

With the speed keys and regional variants they have a large amount
of product stock already, I imagine they're not trying to keep old
items and didn't see a big reason people would want the old-style
PSUs.
I thought CTI had gotten some PSUs straight from the manufacturer
years ago when there was a Motorola shortage, you could check with
them.

Which is great...for you.
Why can't I have a choice? Why are they taking it away if
there is still demand? Why won't they let us go straight to
whatever manufacturer they get them from??

I'm one of those that prefer the new PoE:
-less outlet space needed
-gigabit option (current 450 SMs can reach 75mbit down so
it's likely next generation will hit 100+)
-can choose whatever cable length is needed to go to
PC/router.
-won't have the broken RJ tab / wires pulling out of the
RJ due to cable weight issues of the current PoE model
With very big "TO COMPUTER / ROUTER" "TO OUTSIDE
ANTENNA" labels, on both sides of the unit, customer
wiring mistakes will be almost eliminated. I haven't seen
that as a big problem on the PMP320.

Ray can you please come and hang out with one of my
clients for a day and hand them each POE and see which
one they can hook up and which one they can't??
Just because you have made this decision doesn't mean
it's a good decision and we are asking cambium to
reconsider. The new POE sucks! Period!

Thanks for the link josh. They normally cost ~$10
so the eBay price of $24 is someone trying to make
a buck on them before they are gone. Also
eventually eBay will run out too so that's not a
long term solution.
Come on cambium listen to your long time loyal
customers!

Dear Cambium,
Why won't you let us buy the ACPSSW-13B POE if we
still want to?
It's very frustrating that we now have to change
our install procedures AND our tech support
procedures. The new POE is also very cumbersome
and prone to clients plugging things in backwards etc.
Can you either keep selling them or give us access
to the manufacturer so that we can still buy them?
