The current GigE SyncInjector works without any modifications such as
pinout. Standard Canopy POE pinout works fine. Feed it 48-56v and plug
it in. Not enough current to run anything off of the aux port though.
I really wish they would've made the 450i take 20-56VDC. By all
accounts, it doesn't pull any more power than a 3.6 450AP (about 15-18
watts). But oh well.

Forrest,
How will this play with Cambium’s new PMP450i AP, which is supposed to
be 802.3at compatible, but also can run with a modified 320/430 pinout?
Thanks,
nDarren

Yep, pretty much anything you mentioned. Anything which will work with
a passive power injector. Notable exceptions: Cambium 320/430 radios
(oddly pinned power not compatible with a true gigabit radio), and
other radios which try to do everything across the eight pairs and end
up breaking compatibility as a result - for instance some of the high
end microwave radios which don't do true PoE but instead rely on their
own special injector which does everything under the sun.
ETA: Depends on how many projects we can juggle at once. The next
30 days or so are consumed with Wispamerica and trying to get the new
4 port injector released to production. After that happens, we're
going to try to simultaneously work on both this project and the 12
port version of the 'din mountable' injector. Assuming that works
well, we're looking at probably around 90 days (from now) for both the
12 port and the rackmount unit. But, this all can slip if we need to
spin a board.

I vote 18 port. Make sure it supports PMP100, PMP450, PMP450i, ePMP,
Mimosa and others. I assume gigabit? Really like idea of being able
to replace in 6 port chunks too.
ETA? Really liking this product.

Well, it looks like it might actually be finally happening.
We are about 98% sure we have a rackmount enclosure manufacturer which
we can work with. Domestic. Product looks decent. Price is right.
Which means it's time to nail down a few details here, such as number
of ports, so I can get some enclosures cut and boards made and
hopefully get this elephant out of the room....
So I need some input:
The rough figures I'm working with here is $800 for a 18 port
rackmount power injector. Voltage and pinning jumper selectable per
port. Per-port control of power and sync. Probably some redundant
power and other things built in, but I'm still nailing those details
down (a lot of it comes down to space on the front panel of the
enclosure).
PLEASE NOTE: The prices here are soft - until I get the design
completed I won't know what I can sell this for - as many of you know
I try to price things at a fair price as opposed to what the market
will bear.
The main questions I have for the list are:
Is 18 the correct number of ports? 18 is looking like about the most
I can fit based on front panel dimensions. This corresponds to 3
blocks of 6 ports (if you lose a port and need to replace it, you'd
replace 6 at a time).
Other options are 16 (4 blocks of 4), and pretty much any smaller
quantities of ports which are divisible by 4 or 6.
I guess what I'm really asking here is whether the 18 port version for
$800 is the only version of this I should make or carry, or does it
make sense to sell (as an example) an 8 port version for $400 instead
of or in addition to this?
