This is my first foray into -48v.

It looks like the Meanwell RSD-200C-48 is what I need. Input is 33-63vdc. So on the Input side, the -48 will go to the Negative terminal, and the ground will go to Positive. Then on the Output side I just wire it normal? We are not responsible for the radio mount location, so I don't know if they are tying the Ground back to their cabinet or not. Will there be other issues with the equipment grounds on the tower after it goes through the DC-DC Power supply?

As far as I know, the EdgePoint will smoke if you power it with -48VDC. You'll need a DC-DC converter in between your -48VDC plant and the EdgePoint. I would recommend Meanwell RSD.

    I know that +/-48 is oft discussed, but I still can't quite keep
    track
    of the caveats with different equipment.  I need to put an
    Edgepoint S16
    at a Telco cabinet, and they will supply me power off of their -48v
    plant.  Do I need to do anything special since the Edgepoint does
    auto
    polarity on the DC Input?  I'm guessing that since it's auto
    polarity,
    the case and ground are isolated from the input lines.
