Re: D-Link power feed - converter

Be careful when you hook it up. When I did it, I saw the yellow wire and though "Ah, 12 Volts, like on a computer PSU" and red for 5 V (Also typical color for the 5 V lines in a computer PSU)

Result: 44 volts through the DAP-1522. NOT FUN.
Also, the switching voltage regulator inside, which I suspect blew, had a maximum rating of 42 volts.

If you do blow it, Amazon has a nice $15 rebate + sale so they are only $57. We bought two.
