Hap ax3 and cap ax poe

Is the POE out of hap ax3 enough for powering a cap ax?

You can check yourself … specs for hAP ax3 and cAP ax (if nothing will be attached to cAP ax, then take “Max power consumption without attachments”).

In short: yes if nothing else connects to cAP ax.

Thanks! I saw the specs but I was not sure!

@mkx

Isn’t his another case of confusing Mikrotik PoE specs?

The hap ax3 outputs passive PoE, whilst the cap ax accept as PoE in 802.3af/at, so maybe it is needed a (passive) PoE splitter powering the cap ax through the dc jack?

It is a bit confusing. But don’t despair, all MT devices with PoE in will accept passive PoE (and some will additionally accept 802.3 af/at PoE). This is also implied with specified PoE-in voltage (18V-57V … 802.3 af/at requires something like 40V-57V).

Good to know, thanks, still, another case where it could have been easy to write device specifications in a less cryptic manner.
