GREAT NEWS

Thu Jul 16, 2015 12:12 am

So, how MIMOSA is able to accept either polarity on any pairs is with the use of a bridge rectifier which is why our switch powers it just fine.

Well here is the GREAT NEWS part of the post, apparently Dave in his infinite wisdom or just dumb luck we too have a bridge rectifier so we too can accept either polarity on each pair so in plain English you can safely use either the AF24 or MIMOSA POE Brick. :hurray:

How do you like that! Pirate4

Well, that is good news. I'm sure Dave is infinitely wise, not just lucky.

Great news !!! So I can leave the Mimosa Bricks in Place :-). It is much easier to have one brick for all installations.

Yea, any polarity on any pair.

The only thing you can NOT do is mix polarity on a single pair, keep polarity the same for both wires of each pair.

Example: Blue and White/Blue is a pair

Have you confirmed this to be the case with the LITE? They're entirely different products from the full-feature B5. I'd assume they have the appropriate hardware in place where using a B5 POE wouldn't damage the B5-Lite, but in regards to the reverse polarity protection, the documentation mentions nothing.

I think Chris overlooked the difference on the Lite. I would not use it if it didn't provide power over all 8 wires. Put a voltmeter on the pairs to confirm.
