Powering of CubeSA 60Pro ac

The datasheet for the CubeSA 60Pro ac says that it accepts 18-48 V on PoE. Does that mean that there is a risk of damamge if it is run on the IEEE 57 V maximum?

Not generally, no. I run all my sites at or above 48V and all the MikroTik gear seems to be just fine.

Yep, but other Mikrotik gear “stamped” with (presumed) 802.3af/at compliance have usually voltage range 12-57 (example https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_60g ) or 18-57 V (example https://mikrotik.com/product/wap_ac_lte6_kit ).

So why specifically the Cubes are 18-48 V?

4

CubeSA 60Pro ac brochure says that PoE in can go up to 57V. Both btochure and product page mention 802.3 af/at which mandates input voltage range up to 57V. So the product page is likely incorrect.

Thanks for spotting that. I think you are correct - I will connect them up to a normal PoE switch with confidence..
