We (Personal Telco Project) have used a bunch of Ubiquiti M gear for outdoor networks. You can run on any voltage <=24V. The longer the ethernet run, the more resistance, and therefore more resistance loss and voltage drop along the length of the cable. For relatively short runs of ethernet, you

"Double the amperage" is nonsense... These power supplies are constant-voltage, the amperage is merely reporting how much current is available. Go into any Radio Shack and they will tell you that you need to match the voltage of the power supply, and EXCEED the Amperage <>Oh, wait The problem

You’re going to be looking at double the amperage if you cut the voltage in half in order to maintain the same wattage. Simply cutting the voltage in half w/o changing the amperage will result in half the power. I doubt that the equipment will work properly at half the power, or with double the

I'm considering using some Ubiquity radios (Ubiquiti BULLET-M2-HP) for a field deployable network. They say they use PoE to power the units. However, the PoE specs say 48V, while the Bullet data sheet says says max 24V. Ubiquiti has their own PoE power inserters, but they run off 120V and I need
