Who @ mikrotik tought it was a good idea to set the voltage limit of the hAP ax S at only 28V ?
The old HAP ac could be powered with 48V, and the you can put a camera on the POE out port.
This was actually perfect for many situations.

- Cheap
- I personally don’t think people with PoE Cameras will just have 1. I’d rather think it would be more useful for an AP. (Mikrotik APs accept 28V
)
To elaborate on nr. 1:
hap ac 130$
hap ax s 80$
Competitor products:
90$ and just an AP with no PoE out.
I used to be really happy with the POE ports on routers, too, but when my hex-POE burned out during a thunderstorm through a camera, I thought how great it was that it was a switch and not a router
Both hEX S 2025 and hAP ax S almost looking same except later has wifi support, but hEX S supports 12-57V and hAP ax S supports only 12-28V. Anyone can confirm is it really limited to 28V or typo in the manual?
Can confirm it is only 18-28V PoE-in.

Well, the hex S is also good for me.
Most of the times I use the Poe out for a Unifi 7 Accespoint.
Had to do it like this since the U7-pro in wall has no extra Ethernet ports (the U6 pro in wall has 4 ethernet ports, the standard U7 in-wall has 2)
So last time I repurposed the customers HAP AC to give network to other devices.
