Make sure you take this into account:

Total limit is 2.8A@24V

That means, that if you have 5 identical devices they should not draw more than 560 mA PER UNIT. That is approximately 12W per unit. The WAP AC is 12W. So it `might` or might not work.

Secondary solution: Buy a 48V adapter and power the CRS switch ALSO with this power. So you will have 24V and 48V. You can then set (force) the CRS to use on port 1-3 : 24V and port 4 and 5 to use 48V. That way you spread the power.
