I still have many sites on regular old AC UPS's and AC-DC DIN rail power
supplies plugged into them. Works fine, until the UPS takes a shit. Then
I just convert to a DC UPS. That's the nice thing with the Traco
BCMU360, you can keep your existing power supply, as long as it's enough
to run the load + 12-15W for maintaining the battery.
But anyway, I used a lot of Phoenix Contact TRIO power supplies (like
20+) and only one ever died because it was hit with 13kV when the
primary came down on top of the secondaries feeding the building. :(
Those are pretty expensive, so I started buying Mean Well SDR120-24's
and so far those have been working without an issue.
You can't go wrong with an industrial power supply, as long as it isn't
a POS. I consider most Mean Well stuff to be pretty cheap, but they've
proven to not be garbage.

Traco TSP series. If you need battery backup, throw in a BCM module.

Who is using what and why?
The power supplies that Packetflux sells, seems to burn out after
about a year at the most inconvenient times. I am looking for
something more robust.
Currently, I am using Meanwell SDR120-48 for the bigger devices
(Backhauls and 430 AP's) but am looking for something a bit more
reliable in 24vdc.
