Hi,
Does Mikrotik has any plans in future for PoE Injectors similar like Ubiquiti has?
For example this one - https://store.ui.com/collections/operator-accessories/products/u-poe-af
RBGPOE does not fit my needs, because in my apartment the ISP has only provided incoming LAN cable without any switches. And it would be stupid to purchase additional switch because of this.
I would like to see a wider range of PoE Injectors from Mikrotik in future.
Thanks!
RBGPOE does not require a switch!?
Why don’t you add a female-to-female adaptor?
This is my situation. There is no way RBGPOE can help without any switch or something between incoming LAN cable from ISP and my router.
I’m planning to replace my current wAP with new cAP ac, and I have to figure out how to power it.
It would look ugly af.
You don’t have to buy a switch. The cAP AC has two ethernet ports (let’s call them eth1 and eth2). By default You would use eth1 facing the internet, and eth2 your LAN - but it is possible to turn it around: eth1 to your LAN and eth2 to the internet.
All you have to do is move the ports around, turning it “upside down”. I did it, with my hEX: ISP comes into eth5 and my PoE switch plugs into eth1.
@Paternot, I got your idea, but I don’t have any plans for using second ethernet port, maybe in future. Currently I’m using only wi-fi.
The point is U-POE-AF from Ubiquiti would fit perfectly in my current situation. So I would be happy to see similar PoE devices from Mikrotik as well.
