Will feeding a mikrotik on 24VH (port 2 on WS-6-mini) kill the mikrotik or power it normally?
I need the 4 "V" ports for ubnt devices.

Re: Feeding mikrotik on 24VH?
This would be a question to research on the MikroTik device.
If the device is not designed to get power on all 4 pair it could damage both devices.
But for people to be much help you might want to specify the model in question as Mikrotik makes many.
On this thread I have only seen people powering MT devices with standard 24V and 48V (2 Pair).

As I understand it most MT devices take 24V and 48V POE so if you have an extra airFIBER POE brick laying around you can try and power it with the POE brick that way your only risking 1 device.
If it does accepts 24VH and 48VH I would use 48VH to power it as it is normally better to use the higher voltage option.
ON a side note if it is a 1G port on the MT chances are they are using a 4 channel Ethernet Transformer taking the power from the center tab and then as long as they are not doing anything funny like UBNT does with the remote factory default on the POE brick you might be OK? As I said only risk 1 device and use an airFIBER POE brick as it uses all 4 pair just like the 24VH and 48VH POE option on our switch.

Good one with the airfiber brick. Will test it with a cheap hEX lite, since it will be simular to the one i will end up using. I'll report back with the result, fried or alive :-)

Seeing as the hEX lite is only 10/100 and 6V to 30V I would be concerned about trying it on the AF PoE brick.ColoCenter wrote:Good one with the airfiber brick. Will test it with a cheap hEX lite...
Maybe try a http://routerboard.com/RBGPOE-CON-HP converter to see if it can take the 50V on all pairs.
