There is heat given off at all voltages. And that particular unit might have a
fault in the resistor. Solder bridge or wrong resistor. Have not seen that
before but could happen.

Isn't AF24 only 48v?

OK, there are some half watt resistors in that area. When running at 55
volts limiting current for the LEDs they do get hot. Their temp depends on
system voltage. I had hard to make the LEDs usable for a range of 6-60 volts
without some tradeoff.
As long as the large chip isn’t getting hot you are OK.

Yeah, it seems to be just the area around the LED. The connector is not very
hot at all.

Or is it the area right by the LED's?

We just installed our first GIGE-POE-APC which is powering an AF24, and
noticed that it gets VERY hot. So hot that it almost instantly burns your
finger when you touch the green molding. For folks that have these installed,
is this normal?
It's ran fine for a few days, but this morning we we noticed that the
ethernet link on the AF24 was dropping (and coming back very quickly). I'm not
sure if it's related or not.
