I like that. :-)

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). The 12 port version will reduce this further and will be jumper configurable for a lot more different radios - if I can ever get the @()#$* thing shipping." So yes, and it sounds really nice... with jumpers so it can power pretty much anything.

True, you end up with a lot messier wiring using a midspan, but it's worth it in my opinion.... that 12 port sync injector sounds like it's going to be exactly what I want. Some of the newer stuff does support 802.3af or at now, so maybe things are starting to move the right direction. Cambium has the right idea with ePMP - they work with both the old Canopy PoE and 802.3af... I wish everyone would just do that.

Reduced functionality and reduced performance. No idea why you would. Radios go directly into an MPLS router (in terms of active electronics anyway). I'm not yet to Gino's level of going directly into CE boxes, though I may get there. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com From: "TJ Trout" < [email protected] > To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 11:06:16 PM Subject: [AFMUG] DC POE Switches Is there really no gigabit poe switches on the market available now? I just really don't understand why there aren't a bunch of types of these on the market already! I posed the question to Forrest at afmug and he stated that no one wants to be locked into a specific switch, really guys? Using a midspan injector that requires power cabling to each port, fusing, and a rats nest of ethernet cables seems so 2006, do you guys really see it that way? Yes I know about netonix, but how are they the first to market, it's 2015!??? </blockquote> </blockquote> -- Forrest Christian CEO , PacketFlux Technologies, Inc.
