Playing around with my WS6 the last few days. Powering it by UBNT AF24 - 50v PoE. Running all this..

Here's a grab of the GUI. Averages about 30 watts

It really is a cool little switch.

Same software features as it's bigger brothers so it is powerful and small!!

I agree. We are building our first mini-pop with one tomorrow!

I have 2 coming in tomorrow, plan to play with those a bit and use them in a specific micro-cell environment to power a few radios at each location and provide a wired uplink to the customer's router where we're co-locating.

Yep, use an old AF24 POE brick inside and that is their uplink port, this is the exact application I had in mind.

Also picture this, WS-12-250-AC in tower box powering 2 or more WS-6-MINI up the tower in Tycon power boxes.

Now I would suggest powering the backhaul radios directly from the WS-12-250-AC is possible to prevent the inevitable pause frames from Flow control affecting the backhaul if at all possible but on smaller nodes this is not an ISSUE.
