Product Overview The Ubiquiti POE-24-AF5X is a specialised external Power over Ethernet adapter meticulously engineered to power the airFiber AF-5X and AF-5XHD high-performance wireless backhaul radios. Supplying a continuous, high-efficiency output of 24V DC at 1.0A for a total capacity of 24W, this adapter uses an intensive 4-pair power delivery method rather than standard 2-pair arrays. It includes a dedicated pass-through Gigabit LAN interface to guarantee that ultra-fast point-to-point wireless link speeds pass through the injection point without restrictive hardware performance bottlenecks. Built with premium industrial-grade shielding, earth grounding, and internal surge suppression, it safeguards sensitive outdoor radio chipsets against severe atmospheric discharge.

Please Note: This injector uses passive 4-pair wire allocation specifically tailored for airFiber X radios and specific high-capacity 24V equipment. Please check hardware guidelines before deployment to ensure complete device compatibility.

Key Features

• Tailored airFiber Power: Outputs a steady 24V DC up to 1.0A over 4 pairs, perfectly matching the critical operational power demands of airFiber PtP and PtMP backhaul links.

• Unthrottled Gigabit Transfers: Equipped with fully shielded Gigabit Data IN and PoE OUT RJ45 sockets to maintain high backhaul transmission speeds.

• Robust 4-Pair Delivery Path: Broadcasts power evenly across pins 1, 2, 4, 5 (+) and pins 3, 6, 7, 8 (-) to counter voltage drops over long outdoor ethernet cable lengths.

• Electrostatic Discharge Protection: Combines a continuous earth-grounding path within the mains power cable with shielded ports to lower the risk of hardware blowout caused by outdoor static build-up.

• Sub-Nanosecond Surge Damping: Integrates common and differential mode transient clamp protection arrays that safely isolate unexpected line drops and lightning spikes within less than a single nanosecond.
