That's a good point, I think I've also figured out I can't power anything
BUT cambium 450i and 450m with the two cards I have. So I'll need a
polarity agnostic card I believe.

I didn't think long enough but I think you're right, each port can be a
seperate power supply. So 450m on each power supply then on the third one
could carry a mimosa and the 820
