Yes, you can. Ubiquiti has such a device. It takes 802.3af from a switch, and converts it to 16V regular passive PoE at the top of the tower.

They don't have the switch built in, so its a mid-span injector. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, CCNA, A+, Mikrotik Certified Trainer WISPA Board Member - wispa.org Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services WISPA Vendor Member Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training Author of "Learn RouterOS" -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of rwf Sent: Wednesday, November 25, 2009 12:20 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: [WISPA] 802.3af POE to Passive POE Anyone know of a gizmo that will allow a 12-15VDC device that is normally powered by "passive poe" (Pins 4/5 and 7/8 like UBNT and many of the others use) to be run from a port on a POE Ethernet switch (802.3af) Please tell me about it if you do.
