Gig-e <-> 10/100 w/ POE

Hi guys!

I might be way out there on this but I basically want to know if the below is possible.

I need to attach a Ubiquiti Picostation M 2.4GHz to a RED Dragon camera. The Pico requires POE (12-24v). I've got that part kinda figured out. 2-pin 12v Lemo cable injected to the pins on the ethernet connection.

The only part I don't have figured out is the fact that the RED dragon is gig-e only and the Pico is 10/100. I know there is a way to trick the Dragon into thinking that the connection is gig-e, but I have no idea how. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Well first none of the PoE standards(IEEE 802.3at) support 12-24v which means you are using a nonstandard injector that likely uses 2 of the wires as a carrier. This a) would fry anything 1gbe 2) removes a required pair to support 1gbe. 3) PoE only supports a single powered device. 4) I don't see a single Red Dragon camera on their site that supports PoE either so you may want to check what you are doing.

Short answer: no. You need 2 cables, and I am guessing actual local power.
 
The ubiquiti poe uses passive POE, you can buy the injector's on ebay for like $10? Secondly, the camera is likely auto detect, since it's gigabit capable, so once you plug it in, you should be fine.
 
I guess it is good to know they don't use the PoE standards and that you might fry anything that accidentally ends up connected to that passive injector. They also have quite a few injectors that are not gbe compatible. I wasn't aware that ubiquiti AP's power system was such a joke. Pretty much auto tosses them out for our company as we have IEEE 802.3at at all the sites now and would nearly zero interest in that kind of cabling hack job.

this is only the non pro models both the AC and the Pro models use standard POE
