If you're going to connect RBM11G to ether5 port of hAP ac, then in theory you could daisy-chain power as well. Declared PoEout max current on hAP ac is 700 mA while RBM11G consumes max 11W ... if you go with 24V supply, PoEout current would be around 460mA. However, hAP ac itself cunsumes up to 17W which, combined with RBM11G, would mean max current around 1,16A ... which might be too much for PoEin port1 on hAPac.
I'm not 100% sure, never did try, bout you could try the following: use RBGPOE adapter on the tower to get DC out.
Then construct a Y-cable for DC current and power both devices (RBM11G and hAP ac) through DC jacks. Or a variant: use RBGPOE to extract DC and feed it to DC jack of hAP ac and then use PoEout (ether5) to power RBM11G through PoEin.
The basica variant of this idea would likewise work also if you're not going to connect RBM11G with hAP ac for ethernet connectivity.
