No, not talking about 2 different rules.  My point was that if you have to do 
that anyway, then put the POE there and extend the link however they want past 
that.  Fiber sounds like it would make the most sense.

Are we talking about 2 different rules?  Yeah, we're supposed to ground cables 
going from outside to in.

Also the outdoor cable is only supposed to go so many feet into the building 
and then transition to an indoor cable.  Here it's 50ft.  This is supposedly a 
fire code thing, because outdoor cable doesn't have the same rules for smoke 
and flammability.  This rule is commonly ignored, but it's a real thing.

Secondary ground rods are a no no here.

We’ve been told the code applies to tv antenna wire as well.  Anything that 
“pierces the envelope” by coming from the outside to the inside.

Does that include low voltage?

Is it a Wisconsin thing that you have a to have any wire that penetrates the 
building “envelope” grounded within 20 feet of penetration to meet code?   
Seems like if you have to ground it anyway within 20 feet of entry, put the POE 
there and then they can have their extender wherever they want along the rest 
of the run.

all but the exterior cable run of maybe 12 feet. theyre extending their 
building out and putting up another building in the current LOS

thats what i suggested trying first, customer wanted the extender, irritating

he finally has caved now and will be putting a network rack in the midpoint and 
is going to place a managed switch there instead of all this other 
unsupportable cobbling. Sometimes we get a win.

Maybe a dumb question, but has it already been tried without the extender?

400ft is beyond 100m, but not by all that much.  It might just work without any 
faffing around.

I have a customer fixed on using 
https://i.mt.lv/cdn/product_files/GPeRqg_190928.pdf to extend his epmp f300 
radio run to 400+ feet.
if im calculating this right there will be about a 10v drop on the 24guage 
cat5, taking the 30v down to 20. If it does manage to keep the radio powered i 
see it burning out the poe circuit.

hes fighting me on putting the cambium PSU at the midspan point and using his 
own POE to power the extender.

Ive been overruled about telling the customer no, so its happening, but I want 
to make sure my math is correct
using https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/wire/voltage-drop-calculator.html
24guage, 30v, .5 amp, 400 feet shows 10v drop. but im not sure about the 
resistivity field

this is a guy who runs constant latency monitoring and initiates tickets on 
every blip, so i see this radio move just becoming a nightmare with this 
midspan extender in play
