Does anyone know which PoE standard is used by the Huawei 5G ODU? Looking at the supplied AC adapter it is 19V @ 1.26A, however it does not seem to fit in 802.3af or 802.3at. Maybe it is passive PoE?

Huawei 5G ODU Power Supply

Are you saying the supplied PoE might not be fit for the job? Clueless when it comes to PoE's but I can tell you that the hybrid (Wifi+ modem) ODU uses a different/smaller PoE compared to the stand alone ODU. They cannot be interchanged, which would tell me the hybrid might have less power requirements compared to the ODU.

I was not aware there is a hybrid... Anyway the unit I have is the N5368X (not much of info on the interwebs for this unit).
I currently have a setup at home which runs off of a battery (using a buck boost converter) to carry me through load shedding. I would like to use this same system to power this new 5G unit.
Yes that is the one I have as well. Problem you will find it that as far as we can make out RAIN's 5G network does not have backup power so I'm not sure running it off battery will help.

I have not. I thought about acquiring one of these bad boys: PoE Detector, but I'm thinking that its either passive or some propriety standard due to the 19V adapter which does not fit into any of the defined standards.
Also thought about just using a standard UPS, but I have some other concerns. Some UPSs tries to be smart and if they detect a vert low load, they will shut themselves down. Another is that UPSs aren't built to run continuously, but rather only for a few minutes, so the electronic components are not rated accordingly, and will damage with long term use.
Another option is to build my own. Buy 12V battery, smart charger and a 200W inverter from Geewiz and snot everything into a box.
We've tried something similar only to find that it doesn't matter as the 5G tower has no power during loadshedding

The towers now have power backup.
I am struggling powering my N5368X.
I have a normal Mikrotik POE Injector and provide the N5368X with 15v.
The issue is, I then get power on the DATA side of the POE Injector as well.
What did you guys end up doing?
