Convert passive PoE to 802.3af

Sun Dec 05, 2021 5:50 pm

I have a setup where I have a hAP ac3 providing PoE on its 5th port. I need to power a PoE security camera which can take 802.3af. Is there some way that I can convert the passive PoE output from the hAP to 802.3af? I don't want to have to buy yet another power injector.

It isn't possible, the Mikrotik hAP ac³ only supports up to 28v.
You will need a PoE-Injector or PoE-Switch


Some other devices like the hEX s supports up to 57v,
and because of this, it is possible to Power 802 devices thru the PoE-Out.

As @ConnyMercier said it is not possible...
You can just use an af POE injector...
