I want to say the single-port AF injector came out before Forrest had
the 4/8-port GigE injectors done. Or maybe even before they were
designed. And that's simply because of the GigE + 4-pair injection
scheme. That was one of the few radios at the time that required 4 pairs
because of the power consumption.
Forrest said the newer relays he's using on the GigE 4/8-port injectors
will handle the current fine. The older orange Omron relays not so much.
I've burned up quite a few of them over the years. Luckily they're not
too difficult to replace.
I'd just use a GigE PowerInjector+Sync these days. You get 2A per port
using 4-pair injection. Plus solid-state over-current protection. Or the
5ch PDU and GigE-POE-APCs. There are many good options now. The
RackInjector is gonna be awesome. And I hope to see the 12-port
PowerInjector+Sync later for the smaller cabinets. Fuses and wiring
drives me nuts.

It so happens an AF24 is exactly what I'm looking at.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Packetflux Airfiber POE
If I remember correctly, the 4 port works fine. I think the reason
for the special one was because the airFiber 24 draws so much power,
but if I remember right, it was determined later on that the normal
injectors would handle it fine (and I'm pretty sure I had one running
on one at one point). It certainly wouldn't be an issue with anything
other than the 24ghz airfbers anyhow, since the others all use a lot
less power.

I'm wondering why there is a special AirFiber POE device for
Packetflux. Will AirFiber not work with the 4 port gigE POE
adapter?
