We have several, about 2 dozen in place for about 2 years, Have not had
any issues with them.
I like the fact that they are cheap enough to just keep spares on a
shelf. But so far we have not had any problems. Most of our Paths
were running AF5 radios that we upgraded to AF11, so we didn't even have
to change the bracket on the tower, just swap the AF5 for the AF11.
We do change the mount bolts that come with the Dish. They are packed
with bolt/washer/lockwasher which is almost impossible to get all lined
up when you drop the dish into the bracket. We change them with
serrated flange head bolts like are on the AF5 radios (order from
McMaster) and get 35mm long threads so it's easier to line up on the
bracket. We also have have to re-tap about 80% of the mount holes on
the dish because the threads from the factory are that bad. That's just
now part of our ground setup to run the tap through all the holes.
They have an option for 2wire power, or POE, but no SFP unfortunately.
But any Ethernet issues I've had can be traced to a problem with the cable.
