Operating a PoE+ access point
No, you cannot connect a standard PoE power injector directly to a PoE+ rated UAP AC HD. The device requires specific power delivery specifications that differ from typical PoE+ inputs.
It's essential to ensure the AP's wattage aligns with a comparable or larger injector. These components generally work seamlessly without additional setup.
I remember these were included with POE injectors. It seems one of them might fit. https://store.ui.com/products/u-poe-af
Utilize the UAP AC Lite version for testing upon delivery, even if it runs at reduced capacity. If it functions, it’s a pre-owned unit and you might consider purchasing a replacement or power source.
Many UAP AC Lite models include a 24V passive POE injector. The UAP AC HD operates at 48V only. 802.3af or “POE” delivers active 48V up to 15W from the source. 802.3at or “POE+” provides active 48V up to 25W at the source. Passive power is constantly supplied, while Active requires the receiver to be detected first.
