Thanks, that is helpful.

This is the CCR2004 with 12 port SFP+ and two port 25Gbps, so has built in AC 
to DC units.

Was hoping to just get the mikrotik replacement PS parts, but they don’t exist 
right now.

So maybe I will just end up doing what you did with the Meanwell units.

Which CCR2004 do you have?  Your best bet is probably something like a Meanwell 
RSD-60L-12 or RSD-100C-12.  I just stuffed an RSD-100C-12 into a CRS354 last 
week.  I cut the connector off the PSU side of the AC/DC PSU to motherboard 
cable and wired those four wires to the Meanwell output, then I made my own 
cable going from the Meanwell input to a power pole connector sticking out the 
back.  If you have the CCR2004 with the dual hot-swap PSUs, you might have 
trouble finding room inside the CCR for the Meanwell though.  I would open one 
up and take a look if I was you.

A picture or two if you have it convenient would help.

Seems like these are not available, if you happen to have a couple on the shelf 
you can part with by chance let me know.

I’ve got pre-orders in right now so I can convert about 10 of these units, but 
I really want to get a couple PS in to convert just one in our “test” location.

The 4 pin goes to the circuit board inside the case.  I never checked what the 
voltages/difference/etc were, but I'm guessing that board does 12v and 
something else out (and 48v in).

My stuff is using an ICT and CCR so if you want pictures to confirm it's wired 
right before letting out the magic smoke let me know.

Oh, ok, somehow I missed that!

Thanks for giving the link, I’ll have to see if Streakwave or someone has them, 
this would be a lot easier.

I could just take that to a barrel connector on the back and make sure that the 
proper feed polarity is used.

You can buy -48VDC power supplies directly from MT for the 2004.  It's simple 
to install them.

I’m not familiar with -48v power plant.

What would it take to “convert” from a -48v wire pair to a 12v 1A wire pair?

I’m converting a Mikrotik CCR 2004 to -48v plant in my cabinets.
The 2004 doesn’t have replaceable power supplies so I was just going to cut and 
wire the 12v headers on the motherboard to a DC barrel installed on the back of 
the unit alongside the AC Input…
Not sure if that would be best, easiest? It’s easy to find 48v to 12v 
downconverters, but -48v is a mystery to me.

Help me demystify it?
