We used a planet poe switch up top and a single dc surge arrestor for the power. Worked well as far as I know. I could try to find out what model we used. I probably still have some lying about I would make a good deal on.

Interested to know what equipment (power) you are running at the base, and what equipment (switches, routers, POE, Ethernet protection etc.) that you have at the top. How is it working for you? Has having everything at the top proved to be much more stable? It’s kinda scary to change from our current way of doing it, but power surges are kicking are butt, clobbering radios on the Ethernet side (mostly ePMP). Looking forward to some good feedback.
