Is the 24V/1A PoE sufficient for Rocket M2 and a NanoStation M2?
I would like to use the secondary port on my NanoStation M2 to power a Rocket M2 with the PoE pass through, so I upgraded the PoE supply to the Ubiquiti 24V/1A version rather than the 0.5A version that normally comes with the NanoStation. I just learned that the Rocket is shipped with the 1A version. Does the Rocket take more power than the NanoStation? If so, with the 1A supply power both units at the same time?

Thanks,

Only about 10W needed.

I did a quick test off of my PoE switch and got the following results:

PoE to Passive PoE Converter(no load): 0.7W
Nanostation: 3.4W
Rocket M5: 2.3W

All devices: There was an 8W peak while both devices were booting up, then it stabilized at 5.6W, minus the .7W of the converter.

Your 24V 1A injector will provide plenty of power.
