PoE Nightmare: Leaking power back into your network

I bought two of these to power two of the new Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite WAPs I bought. Ubiquiti PoE adapters were out of stock so I gave them a try. They seemed to be working fine. First. After a week or two I started having weird network issues. Backup scripts that used to take 45 minutes now took 3 hours, and I kept seeing "Error 59" from multiple programs. My WAP data rate continued to drop over the next month, and then I started having unstable connections. Shortly thereafter, my network audio player started making noise. and after hearing a loud static explosion right after sending the WAP reinitialization command, I realized it was PoE power entering my Ethernet network. I replaced them with the much more expensive Trendnet PoE+ and all the problems were gone. you have been warned
