Are you using Sync over Power on this AP? 

There is a known problem with the way that the sync over power works.   It 
occurs when the cables to the AP are run parallel and tight to steel.  If you 
tape the cables directly to the tower leg, you will almost always have a 
problem with CRC errors. 

The power supply wiring for the 430 product fixed the issue, but they went back 
to the original wiring in the 450.

A couple of ways to fix the issue:

a) Isolate the cables from the steel using standoffs.
b) Swap one wire each on the blue and brown pairs - Last Mile Gear had a note 
on the alternative wiring method at one time.  I’m not crazy about it since it 
makes for a odd looking connector and the next guy who has to work on it is 
likely to cut it off and put it on ‘right’.  The cable will also fail on any 
Ethernet tester, making it difficult to convince anyone that the cable is 
correct.
c) Turn off Sync over Power and use an alternative sync method - iGPS, Syncpipe 
Parasitic, etc.
