All normal switch ports are PoE now, between APs, phones, and cameras. We
do still have some injectors though.

1. Only a handful - locations without a normal switch (just VPN router for
remote, or fed from media converter if the location only has fiber). We
have a lot of security cameras fed via injectors though (the PTZ + fan +
heater ones that are rated 60W). Never had issues with either being
noticeably different than direct-from-switch. I believe there are a couple
daisy-chained VoIP phones using them due to lack of in-wall cabling.
2. No, either LP2521s or built into the media converter (S-1100P-SFP I
think). They actually seem to care less about power glitches than the Cisco
switches.
3. If an AP reboots because of a power glitch it usually takes long enough
to trigger our AP-is-missing monitoring temporarily, but not quick reboots.
Otherwise just the controller's ordered list of connection times (and
listing uptimes). Haven't ever noticed them abnormally low on either field
though.
