Router Battery Backup

For anyone with a ASUS router making use on a non-standard DC plug diameter. I was able to pick up the correct plug from Rectron. A 4mm by 1.37mm. Now I should be able to sue the POE output from my Gizzu to get 19V

Now the interesting question - can I solder it into the power cables on a standard ethernet cable, or would I need to get one of those Passive Injector Splitter kits?

Depends if the Gizzu is passive POE or active. (I know I looked that up at some point but don't recall) - if it's active then it won't output power without the device on the other side to "tell it what it wants", so to speak. (I think).

If passive, easy-peasy. In fact, didn't I post a pic a few pages back?

As passive as passive can be:

People with the Ratel 860p - what average backup times are you getting with what sort of load?
Tested a Gizzu with my Vumatel Raycore CPE and MikroTik hAp ac2 and got around 4 hours to ~25% then proceeded to test the Ratel 860p and it did 5 hours 30 min to ~25%... one would think double the battery capacity would provide.. double the backup time, not 30% more? :ROFL:

So after 2hrs of LS my Ratel 860p is sitting at 50%. Powering:
  1. Rain 5G CPE through PoE
  2. Mikrotik hAP ac2
  3. Netgear 5port GB unmanaged switch
  4. 1xAirties Wifi AP
 
Vuma CPE (The newer grey one)
Mikrotik rb750g router
Ubiquity Unifi AC Lite AP (over POE)
After 4.5 hours still on 50% on the Ratel 860P.

Cool! Let me know when you hit 25%... Sounds similar to mine. RB750G and AP AC Lite probably use about the same amount of power as my hAp ac2.
 
Does your POE device output the power on only those two wires? Afaik it is normally done over two pairs, one pair carrying the positive and another the negative - so you can combine them at the output side.
I think it's one pair or the other. I used a multimeter to check which pair. Maybe active PoE does both pairs.
 
I have the following:
Mikrotik hAP ac - Which can take 12v
Unifi UAP-AC-LITE - 802.3af/A PoE - 48v
Gizzu 8800mah

The stuff up is I thought the Unifi AP was the older model which was 24v passive. What options do I have to power the Unifi AP from the Gizzu?

Thanks.
 
My AC-Lite runs fine on 24v passive. They support both standards, according to the sticker on the box. (The injector that shipped with it definitely is a 24v passive unit, even though the unit supports 802.3af.)
 
That's interesting, it came with a 48v injector.

Do you know if it auto switches the power, or is config on the AP required?
 
Sure you don't have the AC-Pro? All the specs show the AC-Lite as shipping with a 24V Passive POE included.
(No idea about configuring - I'm assuming it will be auto-detect.)

The newer AC Lite self regulates either 24V or 48V

It was already installed and I assumed it was a lite, will have to check to see what it is.

It does not look like the Pro can take 24v passive. :(
 
I haven't been able to access the AP yet. If it is a PRO and only supports 48v, is there anything I can do with the Gizzu to power the AP?
