I am inquiring if anyone has a recommendation on a 24V DC powered outdoor POE injector to substitute for the Factory AC powered 24v injector? (TPLink CPE510 The objective would be to make the CPE510 mast/pole mounted and ultimately powered by Solar powered battery backup without the availability of AC power. I have been using this node as an Outdoor RF node since 9/23 but I am using the AC powered POE injector with weatherproof (CAT 8) ethernet cable.
Amazon lists a few POE devices for outdoors in the $100 plus price range but the pin outs for +/- are different than the TPLink specs. If no other choice exists, then it is time for applying a "cable converter" to swap the pins with one of those. Without doing this one would probably let out the magic smoke.

Thank you for that compilation of POE injectors. The L-Com unit also has jumpers per the data sheet which will allow POE power configuration for pins other than the default. The TPLink CPE510 uses pins:
+4, 5pins; -7, 8pins. (Support up to 60m Power over Ethernet)
I will order one up, bench test it and update the results.
Thanks again, and to all that responded to this post.

However, it is not outdoor rated so doesn't solve the original issue posted in this thread. You'd still have to put it into an outdoor waterproof enclosure.

or if pole mounted put a proper outdoor box there for your connections ... choose your size and get some glands

Not outdoor rated, but if there is some room in your battery compartment
for an inline fuse and this little injector:

I see 3 terminals.
If I hover my pointer over the image, I see a zoomed-in image.
If I zoom in on the terminals, I see
V+ GND V-
This device can be powered via either its coaxial jack or the terminals.
