WS-6-Mini Chaining
If I use a supply voltage from a Ubiquiti AF24 with 3 WS-6-Minis chained together 1 each (mini) to supply POE to 3 Ubiquiti 5-AC-Prisms (total 9) rated at 8W each will there be enough POE current to operate all 9 5-AC-Prisms.

Re: WS-6-Mini Chaining
How much cable between each switch?
So you want:
AF24POE====[WS6]====[WS6]====[WS6]
Then you want each WS6 to power (3) airPRISIM radios?
You're going to have voltage drop that is for sure and the last switch will be no where near 48V input but this depends on cable length.
No, your not going to have enough current/watts
Always assume higher peak demand then UBNT claims as MAX or PEAK draw
I would assume 12 watts per radio so 9 x 12 watts = 108 watts for 9 radios alone.
I would assume 5 watts (closer to 4 watts but always assume higher) per switch so 3 x 5 watts = 15 watts
108+15=123 watts
An AF24 POE adapter is 1.2A or 1.2 x 50V = 60 watts
Even their POE-54-80W POE adapter is only 80 watts. Now this adapter is better to use than an AF24 for longer cable runs to overcome voltage drop and it does have 20 additional watts.

Re: WS-6-Mini Chaining
The 5AC-Prisms are 24V wouldn't that make a difference?

Re: WS-6-Mini Chaining
No. Watts are watts regardless of volts.
Maybe you should consider running separate power wires feeding the barrel connectors and of course use a DC supply that puts out enough watts.
You might want to consider the WS-8-150-DC in place of the MINIs as they can handle the voltage drop.

Re: WS-6-Mini Chaining
Thanks Guys,
Ohms law bites me in the ass...
Was just trying to use existing cat5e.
Got three cables going up guess I'll just use three POE supplys and three WS-6s.

Re: WS-6-Mini Chaining
Yes and you can power with (3) POE bricks or (1) WS-12-250-AC

Whats the max Watts per port on the WS-12-250-AC ?
Thanks.

Re: WS-6-Mini Chaining
Do Volts times Amps to convert to Watts
50V X 1.5A = 75W
50V X 1.5A = 75W
