It's been a very long time since I touched Ubiquiti access points etc. In the past, we always used the 24V poe adapters that came with the gear or Ubiquiti switches that were known to work ok with their gear.

I thought that Ubiquiti had started supporting the "af" standard on their AP's etc in the past few years.

We just picked up a pair of NanoBeam AC gen2's to play with. They included the 24V poe adapters that we are familiar with from our experience years ago. Lit says that Nano beam needs the 24v poe adapter, an edge switch, or Edge Router POE to operate.

Catch me up on this stuff. I don't want to cook anything. Any insights would be appreciated.

one of the reasons I moved away from UBNT...Can't comment on the newer stuff but it was always annoying that they weren't standard. Especially in a pinch

Just looked, other than the NanoStation NS-5AC, all the AirMax series products still requires 24V PoE, including the NanoBeam AC Gen2.

A lot of their standard Ceiling/Wall mount access points (UAP-AC-xxx) support "af/at" PoE.

I don’t know about the edgeswitch chassis but you can change a port from 48 to 24 on a UniFi switch via the UniFi dashboard. I’d imagine edgeswitch has a similar feature

I believe the part of Ubiquity that has moved to POE standards is Unifi specifically.
