I'm strongly considering adding a second power bus to the 12 port injector at this point. Yes, it's currently 12, mainly due to mechanical space savings enabling a few additional ports.
My dilemma is this: The 450i needs 48V. There are a few other products which need 48V as well. As the design sits, it should be able to power the 450i (and the Airfiber), BUT you can only have 1 voltage per injector. It's getting to be more and more that radios are either 24V or 48V (or -48V but I'm ignoring that for right now), and towers can have both on them. I'd almost rather have two injectors - one for each voltage at my sites, but at smaller sites it may make sense to be able to consolidate into one box. -forrest On Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 11:10 AM, Mathew Howard <[email protected]> wrote: > According to Forrest's post earlier in this thread "A syncinjector reduces > the wiring load by 1/4 (one fuse per 4 radios).
