802.3af is POE
It is!
Mikrotik works from 12V to 48V DC!
So if you have some POE injector compatible with 802.3af it's OK!
But its expensive to take 802.3af POE injector just to power up the router...
U can go with a passive POE and adapter, but all depends on what u do?

If you share your idea, we can help!

No. Only RB600/RB800 is .af. All others need legacy poe-adapters.

That mean is if i plug in a Cisco AIR-PWRINJ3 Power injector in Groove or metal is not running device or damage?
(AIR-PWRINJ3 -> Groove or Metal => not running?)

if that Solution is not runnig, please let me know the compatible injector..
(Not splitter cable)

there is product like this:
http://routerboard.com/RBPOE-CON-HP

that takes anything high voltage throw at it at converts to usable 24V for RouterBOARD. (100MBps ethernet)

And overvoltage protection will save your router, so it is just "not working" due to OVP kicking in. Connect correct voltage and everything will be fine.

I wouldn't recommend using 802.3af for RB800. Ostensibly it supports this type of POE, but I didn't have any luck making it work reliably.

what PoE-Out source did you use, what it reported on ports connected with RB800?

When I tried this I was using a Cisco 3750 flavor switch. That project is long gone; at the time I was looking at indoor access points. I like a lot of the Mikrotik systems, but other vendors had much better support for the features I was looking for (completely reliable POE, fanless, dual-radio, centralized configuration management...).
