It will most likely have 4 power buses assuming I don't run out of mechanical room - 2 for certain. Max 12A per bus. (So you can only power 12 airfibers per bus, sorry...)
You will be able to jumper which bus(es) you will use on each port. And my intent is to set it up so if you jumper more than one bus, it will work in a redundant fashion.
