Hi folks, We are getting a fairly large number of requests for an outdoor devices that can accept AC power and provide PoE out. A typical application is tapping power from street lights/poles.
If we make something we'd like to accommodate as many applications as possible. If something already exists for this please let me know (of if Chuck wants to make it I'm cool with that too!). Option 1: AC in, a few sets of PoEs out (so for example, 3 separate pairs of PoE injector ports = data in, data + DC out). Let's call this one the dumb option. Option 2: an outdoor switch with an uplink and a few PoE ports out. This one could be smarter but would be a little higher cost. Option 3: you'll never use this because it requires a high voltage license/permit in your area and not worth the hassle. Thanks! -Hal
