As I have mentioned before I support the WIFI at a church camp where there are many Unifi access points on telephone poles throughout the cam grounds. I had one section not working and I found a RJ45 plug going into a POE injector that was a little burned. Not melted to a crisp discolored and some of the plastic next to the gold connectors fell away when I touched it.
Replaced the RJ45 plugs on each end of the 200' outdoor cable along with the POE injector. The POE injector tested good but I felt it's jack was suspect.
One the other end of the 200' cable was a Unifi outdoor switch (POE powered) that worked fine once the repairs were done.
The last thing I cannot account for is that the 200' cable (which I think is CAT6 but not positive) passes at 10 Mbs but fails at 100 Mbs and above as tested on a Fluke LinkIQ tester.
The switch and connected access points have been running at 1Gbs since yesterday over the repaired cable.
I would have expected a lightning surge to have fried the switch and POE injector.
