I have the non-PoE version of the RB5009 and have been thinking about getting a second one (w/PoE) to replace a switch.
Can you explain briefly how this converter is used? Do you power the entire device with it, making all PoE outputs 24v?
It is a per-port convertor. In my case, I want to power another switch by the RB5009. The other switch being the CSS106-5G-1S.
So I have RB5009:eth7, connected to CSS106:eth1. I'm expecting power output from the RB5009 to power CSS106, however by default the RB5009 outputs 48V and so is incompatible.
The convertor male end plugs into the RB5009, and then the other device plugs into the female part of the convertor. It then in-line converts 48V to 24V.
[RB5009]===[CONVERTOR]===[POE-POWERED-DEVICE]
Ah, the search results for me were not related to PoE, but with a different search I see what you mean now.
