The Ubuquti Instant 802.3af seems to do what you want (as long as the equipment can handle 16v) http://ubnt.com/8023af http://ubnt.com/downloads/instant8023af.pdf On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 9:00 AM, Robert E. Seastrom <rs@seastrom.com> wrote:
Perhaps someone from this august list can offer a clue here.
Have: Cisco 3524-PWR (paleo-POE, pre-802.3af Cisco standard).
It runs the 7960Gs great.
Have: Wireless AP stuff that wants 12v on the unused pairs for passive POE. 48v will let the magic smoke out.
Might buy: phone that does 802.3af
Want to run these with the 3524-PWR.
I can't imagine that nobody makes a bump-in-the-wire converter for this application, but haven't been able to find anything other than 802.3af to the passive POE use case.
Anyone got a pointer for me?
Thanks,
