Poe confusion ?

[lligetfa]

So, is that crimped as A or B, meaning is the green pair 1/2 or 3/6?

[expohl]

Does ANYONE use a? :)

[lligetfa]

To answer your question... yes, I use both A and B.

It looks to me like 1/2 is orange and 3/6 is green. Should I assume that if you reversed the leads on your VM, that it would display a negative sign?

[expohl]

Yes sorry I never knew anyone that used a for data. yes It will show negative. this confirms the poe complies with its label and not af/at

But this comes back to MIMOSA saying their radios have polarity correction which it must because our switch does power them.

Your test also confirms that using the MIMOSA POE adapter with a WS-6-MINI will NOT work and will damage the switch.

[expohl]

it will work and won't damage it according to the other guy, but why is the question?

[sirhc]

it will work and won't damage it according to the other guy, but why is the question?

I am telling you that if you use a MIMOSA POE adapter it "will" damage the WS-6-MINI

Dave is over at our SMT assembly house today but I will ask him to weigh in on this thread.

I do not have a MIMOSA POE adapter, please post a picture of the Label on it showing the PIN outs.

Based on the info I see, I tend to agree with Chris and have to wonder if there is possibly more than one model of Mimosa PoE brick.

In the "Don't believe everything you read on the internet" vein, I wonder how many folks tried charging their iPhones in the microwave?

[lligetfa]

There have seen two posts now that say the Mimosa PoE works, but I don't trust anecdotes as much as I do schematics and my own testing.

Bill was the first to mention it in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=762&p=5685#p5685

Yes we're powering several Mini's with Mimiosa PoE's.. And driving 48v Mimosa B5G's off them.. Whoops. Shall correct this...
