diff brands
I havent had any issues with them so far.

Me! I use UBNT PoE's on Cambium radios all the time :P
It makes it much easier to replace customer's radios if we don't have
to deal with getting into their house.

Why doesn’t anyone seem to have the same complaint about the
Ubiquiti POEs?
Maybe because they come with the radio so you might as well
use them? Plus they have cool white LEDs? Plus now a
wallmount bracket (but that has to be ordered separately
unless you get an AF5X).
One thing you could do is buy a bunch of yellow patch cords
and some self-adhesive yellow sticky dots. Hopefully the
cavemen can match up the yellow cord with the yellow dot. Or
use a dab of hotmelt glue so they can’t unplug it. I know, it
still means paying more for something you still don’t like as
well as the old one.
Maybe if they put in a current indicator LED like the Tycon CI
series, we find that really helps with troubleshooting over
the phone.
I much prefer AC cords to wall warts, but that’s a personal
preference.

I love the first Q&A response in the FAQ Ray...
Q: Why is this change happening?
A: The current Power Supply line is being retired.
Given how super helpful that was, I thought I'd help you
guys out and fill out the rest of the FAQ before you get
inundated with more of these silly questions.
Q: Why is it being retired?
A: Because we're making a change to a new Power Supply.
Q: Why is this change happening and why is it being retired?
A: The old Power Supply is being replaced with a new
Power supply.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for listening.
So if one thing is guaranteed it's that someone is
going to unplug the cables that are attached to the
POE. either a tech friend will be over to "help" them
with their router, their kid will unplug it or they
will just decide to unplug the cables for XYZ reason.
it's guaranteed to happen.
With the old POE there was only one way to screw it
up...unplug the cable from the radio outside. usually
they think they are smart and they plug the radio
cable directly into their router. sometimes they just
leave it all unplugged. But when we try to help them
put it back together correctly here's how the
conversation goes:
agent: do you see the 3" flat black cable?
client: yes
agent: ok good, that goes into your computer or your
router WAN port, just like it says on the sticker.
client: ok got it plugged in
agent: now take the cable coming from the outside,
that goes into the port that says "to radio" (we also
usually tape the ethernet cable to the ferrite bead
with electrical tape so that they have to physically
remove the tape to remove the cable)
client: ok that's plugged in.
agent: great now also make sure that the electrical
plug is securely plugged into a wall outlet and that
there is a red light on the plug.
client: there's a red light and the internet is
working again. thanks!
4 easy steps to success!
with the new POE there are multiple ways to screw it
up. when they unplug everything the labels to put it
back are "Gigabit ethernet" and "gigabit
ethernet+power". so which one is supposed to go
where? well power seems "better", maybe that goes
into my computer...nope wrong. but even better
labeling won't help a whole lot because once they
unplug the cables they usually toss them or do god
knows what with them. so here's the support call:
agent: do you see the 3" flat black cable?
client: i have no idea what you're talking about. i
have this weird brick that my 3 month old son is
playing with.
agent: ok you have the other style adapter. do you
see the cable coming from the outside radio? plug
that into "gigabit ethernet+power".
client: i don't see where that port is.
agent: ok, flip the brick over and squint really hard,
do you see the faint lettering on the brick.
client: maybe, let me grab my glasses. ok i think i
see it...click.
agent: great, now do you see the cable that goes to
the back of your router.
client: um yeah on the back of this link-see thing
there's 5 or 6 wires.
agent: ok there should be a port labeled internet.
client: nope i don't see that.
agent: is there one labeled WAN?
client: yeah
agent: ok the cable plugged into the WAN port of your
router that goes into the "Gigabit ethernet" port on
the brick.
client: oh geeze, let me find my glasses again.
agent: it's the only other port on the brick.
client: ok got it.
agent: great, now make sure the power cable is plugged
into the wall outlet.
client: yeah it's plugged into the wall.
agent: ok now that it's all back together does the
internet work.
client: nope, can you just send someone? i'm tired of
all this plugging and unplugging.
agent: well, lets just check the cables one more
time. "Gigabit ethernet" goes to WAN port on router,
"gigabit ethernet+power" goes to the cable going
outside to the radio.
client: yes that's how i have it. please just send
someone.
agent: is the power cord plugged into the wall outlet.
client: yes
agent: is the other end of the power cable plugged
into the brick?
client: well, um no, no it isn't. you never said to
do that!
agent: ok well plug that into the brick. does the
internet work now?
client: yeah i guess, why are all the cables so
confusing? i have wireless service, why do you have
so many damn wires?
catch my drift? labeling would help a bit but
honestly there's 6 points of failure on the new POE (2
ethernet ports and 2 sides to the power cable, plus
the ethernet ports can be plugged in backward so
really it's 6 things to check) the old POE has 3
points of failure. is the ethernet cable from the
radio unplugged? is the wall wart unplugged? is the
flat black cable unplugged?
Thanks,
Sean

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?
