Me too! I would like to put wAP ac and LHG LTE on a small mast with just one ethernet cable for power supply.

(Wondering why the new version does not have that, as the cAP ac does.)

Sometimes it's very useful to be able to daisy-chain some APs when new cabling is not possible.

+1 pretty please
It would allow me to do things such as:
+12v in to wAP, PoE to the Point to Point link with no need for waterproof boxes
or PoE+Eth in with PoE+Eth passthrough to a camera
or for lazy campus setups: PoE+Eth chains

No AC. Ax please.
Some Gigabit PoE-powered devices (hex PoE) can provide several (1,2 or 4) Gigabit PoE source ports.
I've never seen such devices with 2.5Gb/s input.
This could be very convenient if you don't want to sacrify thoughput/speed when using a single cable for two devices.

I was not refering to ethernet but to wireless.
Ax 2.4GHz is far better then ac 2.4 GHz as far as speed, reach and stability is concerned.
AX 5GHz is also a bit faster :lol:
