Hi all..

Just wonder know, what’s the POE pin code assignment for the RouterBoard RB433 series…

Will this suitable for the RB433?
PROSAFE™ 8 PORT 10/100 SWITCH WITH 4 PORT POE FS108P

Thanks in advance…

No, it’s output is 48V.

Most 802.3af power supplies are sending 48 volts DC over the data lines (1,2,3,6). The RB4xx family will not take power from 802.3af power devices. They only work up to 28 volts DC and take power over the “unused pairs” (4,5,7,8). Specifically they want + voltage on the 4,5 pair and ground on the 7,8 pair. Most RouterBoards follow this standard. The RB600 and RB800 are the exception and support 802.3af 48 volt POE.

While there are many POE power supplies and injectors that will work this way, I don’t know of any mass produced POE switches that support this.

Here is a four port injector that does work with a switch..

I am thinking to buy a AC-DC rectifier which can provide 24VDC 5A to connect 10 unit RB433+R5H.

Will this working fine? especially most of the wireless-bridge is connected to different length of Cat5E cable (NeuroMicron brand)

This is what I did once (only three routers and 12V however):

Video surveillance power supply similar to this:

and

DC power jack pigtails to either connect directly to the boards or use power injector:
