Sounds like a current or heat issue to draw power from any device.
I know a thread a while back where chuck and others discussed this on types of wire as well. I am on the fence about running AC up the tower or DC. The flaws in DC are oxidation and current draw. Where AC is
more or less an extra set of hardware to help convert back to DC.
The though of having a small isolation transformer is not so bad though.

I guess a question for cambium would be to POE or not to POE?

yep,  it should work,  don't have a 3.65 medusa to test.

The shipping firmware in the rackinjector turns off sync if you turn off power.  I need to find out if the Medusa is ok with getting power on that port even though it v won't use it.  Long term I'll update the firmware in the rackinjector to not shut sync off with power, but it should be a firmware only change.  The Firmware in the 4 port din mountable one has already been updated.

    In the interim one could just skip jumper ing that port for power if one really needs to ensure no power  is on the port.

I'm also looking at options to feed power from the rackinjector.  Note the new 5 channel PDU should be able to power the 3.65 medusa with whatever polarity power it accepts.

    Forrest,
     I have learned that specifically the 3.6Ghz Medusa doesnt do POE
    at all. It only accepts direct dc hookup.
    Which leads me to this question since it also needs sync and
    requires cmm5 can I still use the packetflux rack injector unit
    to provide the sync needed since it is the same as the CMM5 just
    no POE.

    I am sure someone from cambium could enlighten us if I am
    incorrect on this.
    Thanks
    Dave

    I have the new 3.65 medusa on my mind.... plus I'm a bit tired.

    The 48V 2.5A power supplies will run 2 non 3.65 medusa radios
    each. If you jumper the boards so 2 radios run off of each power
    supply you'll be fine (the AF24 is a similar quantity of power).

    But, a bulk supply is probably a better idea if you can find one
    in your right form factor.

        I've been using CTM2's for nearly a decade, but they do not
        support 450m. CMM5 is waaay to expensive for what it does and
        is clunky. I've been looking at Packetflux's RackInjector's.

        I'm not familiar with PacketFlux products and need clarity on
        something. See attached. I need to power (3) 450m AP's and
        a(1) AF24. I also need physical spares for each unit. Is the
        attached parts list correct or am I missing something?

        Thanks!
