Yeah I think we have 40 of them out there. No failures that I know of.

We have them all over the place... I've never had a problem with one
yet.

Oops...nevermind. Looks like they are still on there. They were
great for powering Chuck's GIGE-POE-APC injectors, if only they were
more reliable. Perhaps he has worked out the bugs by now, as ours
were purchased years ago when the product was first released.

George,
What is a packetflux 5ch PDU? I can't find anything on their site
except 4 and 8 port injectors.

I have some PacketFlux 5Ch PDUs. I've found the current
measurements to be fairly accurate. One has an AF24 on it and
measures 1020mA, so 49 watts. Others with Exalt ExtendAir G2-11's
measuring 490-520mA, so 24-25 watts. And a pair of SAF Lumina 6GHz
HP radios both about 825mA = 39.6 watts while the radios themselves
say about 870mA and 40.4 watts, so.. close enough. All of these are
fed from the regulated output Traco BCMU360's in 48V mode. I love
the 5Ch PDUs + GigE-POE-APCs for +48 backhauls. No fuses to worry
about. And slightly higher power than a typical POE injector will
handle.

Kind of interesting, I was just checking some of ours... I have
one site, where there are two AF-5x plugged being powered from a
MikroTik hEX PoE, so they both have the exact same power source,
similar cable lengths, etc. and one is showing 8.1 watts and the
other is 10.5 watts. The interesting thing, is that the one that's
drawing more power actually has less load going through it, and
judging from the MAC address, is also slightly newer. I don't know
how accurate those MikroTiks are at measuring current (wouldn't
surprise me if they're far from accurate), but I would expect them
to at least be kinda consistent.

I really thought I remembered seeing an AF5X about eighteen
months ago, drawing 16-17W from the wall, but I could be wrong or
the watt meter that it was plugged into was grossly inaccurate.
This newer model of kill-a-watt seems to be better.

Yeah, I think that's pretty consistent with what the AF-5X
radios have always used. The AF5 (not X) and AF24 do use a lot
more power.

Yes. All my AF5X use ~10W. UBNT AC use 6W and older MT 11n use
3-4W. SAF is 30-35. PTP600 is 50.

I think you are thinking of the AF24 which cranks 50W all the

Provisioning a new AF5X link here on their AC PoE injectors
before they go out to the field. Something interesting I've
noticed, and maybe I'm not remembering right, but it seems
that the newer AF5X use less power than the older ones.
This unit with its ubnt default PoE injector plugged into a
kill-a-watt is measuring 11 watts. There's no traffic going
through it, but as I recall an AF5X uses pretty much the same
amount whether or not it's under load, since the AF
architecture is constantly sending/receiving frames whether or
not they have an ethernet data payload.
