You're close. The AirFiber came out because I expected it to need more power than the 4 or 8 port port poe could handle.
Nowadays it's just a single port version of the gige powerinjector, complete with internal jumpers, minus the sync.

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.

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.
