The one that really ticked me off was a POE injector where the ports are
labeled something like "Data in" and "Data + Power out". The 320 POE
was like that. The use of the words "in" and "out" when data is clearly
(to me) bidirectional makes no sense. For the Joe Schmoe's comparing it
to something like "video in" and "video out" it seems backwards.
Basically those labels are nonsense to everyone and cause confusion.
Is Cambium taking notes for design of their future PoE injectors?

First I've heard of it.
I guess I have mixed feelings. The Canopy POE is simple, and it's
super easy to tell if it's plugged in properly. The other types (like
Tycon) are hard for some people to grock. Even when I show it to them
and explain which connector goes where, I've had customers argue with
me that it should be the "other way". So on the Tycons, I have gone to
the extreme of labeling the POE/LAN cables to indicate exactly what
they hook to.

So is anyone else unhappy with Cambium’s decision to EOL the
traditional power supply?
The replacement part is a Ubiquiti or ePMP brick style. It costs
more, does not include the power cord, and requires an additional
CAT5 jumper cable.
While the current supply has it’s issues (hard to plug into a power
strip) it’s simple to troubleshoot over the phone with a customer
with limited ways to screw it up. I think this is going to create
more ‘miswire’ service calls.
