OUTDOOR POE INQUIRY
poe outdoor wifi access point
These cards are names you can attach to a brief. They are not inventory, not a price list, and not an outdoor coverage claim. A poe outdoor wifi access point still needs an enclosure rating, a Power over Ethernet class, an uplink speed, a quantity, and a US destination before two factories can be asked the same question.

What an outdoor PoE radio line must separate
Enclosure and radio are different purchases when a factory quotes them as a kit. Ask for the IEC 60529 ingress protection mark on the exact housing, such as IP65 or IP67, and ask whether that mark was tested with the antenna ports capped. An indoor ceiling plate with a plastic rain hood is not the same line. Temperature range belongs beside that mark, because a radio rated to 40 C in an office can be a different bill of materials from one rated to 60 C on a mast.
Power over Ethernet class is the next cell. 802.3af offers 15.4 W at the PSE and 12.95 W at the powered device. 802.3at offers 30 W and 25.5 W. An 802.3bt class is a third answer and should not be inferred from a marketing phrase such as PoE+. If the heater or the external antenna amplifier needs more than the class, the injector or the local DC input is a separate line. Write the cable length you expect, because voltage drop on a long outdoor run can leave the radio below its boot threshold even when the switch port is in the right class.
The copper port speed is not the Wi-Fi rate. Ask whether the jack is 1000BASE-T at 1000 Mbit/s or a 2.5 Gbit/s multi-gig port, then ask MIMO spatial streams and channel width at 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz for the radio. Frequency range should be stated per band, including 2.4 GHz at 2400-2483.5 MHz and the 5 GHz UNII plan the datasheet actually lists. Antenna gain in dBi, impedance near 50 ohm, and VSWR when the sheet prints it belong on an external-antenna model. Those RF numbers do not describe a fiber uplink.
Worked comparison from a yard brief, kept as a method rather than a completed client result: a buyer listed 12 pole radios, 802.3at, and a 1000 Mbit/s copper home run under 80 m. Two factories answered. One omitted the ingress protection test condition. The other named IP67 but did not state channel width. Unit price was not ranked. The buyer still had to choose whether a refurbished housing with a new radio board was acceptable, because a refurbished seal can change the ingress story even when the radio silicon matches. New versus refurbished stays a condition question, not a default.
Managed monitoring can show client count and a VLAN after install if the license is in the quote. An unmanaged outdoor radio can be enough for a single camera SSID when nobody needs that view and the buyer accepts local configuration. OEM-coded firmware may follow one controller policy. A compatible build may be quotable when the controller and firmware are named. This desk records the deviation. It does not declare either side approved, and it does not survey the pole.
Limits to keep on the sheet: FCC equipment authorization is checked on the current FCC index for the exact FCC ID, not assumed from a family photo. A laptop RSSI bar is not calibration traceability. Switching capacity and forwarding rate belong to a switch, not to this radio row. Read the managed radio quote cells or send the outdoor brief with quantity and destination.
