FAQs
What is the difference between 24V passive PoE and 802.3af PoE?
Passive PoE uses proprietary 24V power delivery without handshaking protocols, whilst 802.3af is an IEEE standard providing up to 15.4W with built-in safety and device negotiation. The Ubiquiti adapter converts passive 24V devices to 802.3af compliance for standardised infrastructure.
Which Ubiquiti devices are compatible with this adapter?
The adapter is compatible with Ubiquiti UniFi and airMAX PoE devices. Refer to the technical specifications at techspecs.ui.com for a complete list of compatible models.
Can this adapter be used outdoors?
No, the Instant 802.3af PoE Adapter is rated for indoor use only. For outdoor installations, contact Hyetech Australia for outdoor-rated alternatives.
Does the adapter reduce power delivery to devices?
The adapter maintains 802.3af power standards (up to 15.4W). Ensure your device power requirements do not exceed 802.3af limits. Devices requiring higher power may need additional power supplies.
Is installation complex?
Installation is straightforward—the adapter connects between your 24V PoE power source and the device requiring 802.3af compliance. No configuration is required.
What warranty is included?
The adapter includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Can I use this with non-Ubiquiti 802.3af devices?
The adapter is designed for Ubiquiti PoE devices. Compatibility with third-party equipment is not guaranteed. Contact Hyetech Australia for compatibility questions.
