Danf wrote -- and install a dc/dc converter for the +5VDC they want so you can use POE
Is there a DC/DC converter you would recommend? For an inexpensive POE, I've used a pair of lawn sprinkler timer transformers (24 VAC at around 1.25 Amps). One transform plugs into the wall outlet and the 24 VAC is placed on the unused CAT5 pairs with a homemade power injector. The second transformer is placed at the radio end and wired as a step-up transformer. A female-female power socket is used to connect the AP's own 120VAC powercube to the step-up transformer. Be careful!, the exposed male prongs on the transformer have 120 Volts on them. In California, Orchard Supply Hardware carries the transformers for around $13 each. Ace Hardware has the same product at $16. There is a few volts drop on the 120 Volt end at the access point with a 10 - 15 watt load. I have five radios being powered by their individual transformer pairs and they seem to work fine.
