Hi,
I do not know the voltage spec off the top of my
head; we really only support the included 24V PoE. I
do know that 48V is too high and will not work. At
24V, I believe the power draw is under 15 Watts; that
consumption goes up if the supplied voltage drops
significantly below 24V.

Well, it’s a fairly straightforward question.
Whereas they could feel the Tx and Rx specs
depend on a lot of factors, making the question
complicated to answer.
So let’s try.
Chuck, Ben, or whoever from the airFiber team at
Ubiquiti reads this list. Pretty please, could
you tell us the min/max POE voltage for the
airFiber 5X?
If nothing else, those of us who are OK with 24V
nominal probably would like to know if 30V would
let the magic smoke out, since we have DC sites
where the radios run off batteries.

They won't even tell you the Tx power or RX
sensitivity, so voltage range I'm sure is out of
the question.

Mike, have you asked them for a voltage spec? If
it turned out to accept 20-60V you’d probably
change your mind and say that is brilliant.

24v works way better for me. All my sites are
24v. I have to upconvert to 48v when needed.
There is no easy fix because I cannot fit two
more batteries in my cabinet, and it would be a
total rework even if I could. So it was me and
the ten or so that I'll buy. Thanks UBNT!

Or, ya know, somebody might have asked for
it, and wanted to buy a million units, and
already had 24V at their remote small cell
cabinets, or something like that. The
description does say carrier backhaul radio,
maybe that’s a hint.
WISPs in the US are one market for Ubiquiti,
not the only market. It’s possible this
decision makes great sense and the reason
isn’t apparent from our/your perspective.

24v... because UBNT must do something to fuck
up a product. Just use 48v on everything!
First three products use essentially 48v...
. than let's do a 24... because!

I notice that the AF5X does not have a power
consumption value. The data sheet is no help
except that it says the thing uses 24V 1a POE
injector. That implies a maximum of 24
watts. So less than 24 watts. Anyone have
one installed that has measured actual power
consumption? If they're running the POE at
50% duty cycle, that would suggest about 12
watts.

Yes, we do have too many
variants. It is being
streamlined in the AC
line with NanoBeam,
Powerbeam (still will
have multiple sizes).
NanoBeam = all integrated
PowerBeam = inner
feed/dish design
It is a challenge with
sku's since may sku's are
needed for different
areas of the world (i.e.
some products are very
popular here and not as
popular in other parts of
the world).
Would chart help?

And of course the

Then there’s the M vs

Here you go:
Lite - No airPrism,
will do PTP and PTMP
PTP - PTP only, airPrism
PTMP - PTMP only,
airPrism
These are split due
to the filtering used
for each (maximize
PTP and PTMP
performance). We
won't split unless
there is a
performance reason
to. The cost is same
either way...
How much is the
budget? Consider AF-5X?
