All short runs of ethernet <30 feet long. Can a WS6-Mini power 4 Ubiquiti Wave-Micro Ap's if the input to the WS6 mini is 24V with power on all 8 wires? With the output set to 24v for the Wave-Micro AP's? Any difference if the Input is 48v on all 8 wires with the output as 24v to the Wave-Micro's?
-thanks

Yes, but you can only run the one plugged into port 2 at 24; rest of the ports aren't 4-pair (we call this VH) capable so you'll have to run the remaining three at 48 because the wave micro is too many watts for 2 pairs at 24v. Best idea running everything at 48, anyway, you lose a little efficiency stepping the voltage down to 24 instead of just letting it pass through. Are you running at 24 for a specific reason?
we don't get to 4 VH ports until you hit the ws-12-DC, those can be modified to do it even if firmware gripes a little; the 26 you could do that with out of the box, though.
