I have a site w/ 13 radios right now. 4x90 5GHz 450 cluster. 4x90 900
FSK cluster. Various other stuff, mostly PTP.
So I'd say +1 to whoever said to make the rack-mount version shallow
enough and ears allowed to be rotated 90 degrees for wall/panel
mounting. But that would really only work if the chassis isn't the full
19" wide. We're doing mostly the fiberglass 18x16x8" enclosures now. If
it was all up to me, we'd be putting in outdoor 19" rack cabinets
everywhere, but I don't write the checks. Only larger sites where we get
access to the shelters have racks. I would still use the double wide
12-port DIN mount injectors at the mid sized sites. It's always like,
shit! I need a 9th injector, so I have to throw in a 4-port POE module
or something like that.

+1 to what Josh said... we don't do rackmount.
It's going to be pretty rare for us to ever care about sync on more
than 8 radios at a site, but it's not at all uncommon for us to have
10-12 radios total, and I do like the idea of just having one POE box
for everything.
That said, I don't know how often we'd actually end up using the 12
port, since most of the time, 8 ports should be enough.

a!!! buy ONE unit for ALL towers, one model spare for all the things
People can already buy a DIN product and put it in a rack. You
can't go the other way.

What's the most you have radio-wise at these sites?
My thought is something along the lines of..
If I have up to 4 radios at a site, I'd buy 1
syncinjector-sized din power injectors with 4 ports each for
1X the cost and 1X the space requirement
If I have 5 - 8 radios at a site, I'd buy 2 syncinjector-sized
din power injectors with 4 ports each for 2X the cost and 2x
the space requirement, since this is a lower-cost and easier
to spare option than below....
If I have 8 or more radios at a site, would people rather:
a) buy a double syncinjector sized din power injector with 12
ports for 3x the cost and 2x the space requirement
b) Just buy a 1U rackmount unit since the entire site is
rackmount anyways, at about 3x the cost or maybe just a touch
more (to pay for the metal enclosure)
For me, once I got to a site where I had that many radios, it
seems to me that I'd be in a rackmount enclosure of some sort
with a rackmount switch or router so the rackmount solution
would be better.
It sounds like Josh would use the din power injector....

I don't do racks at many locations. Certainly not
looking forward to it in the future.
I have an 8 port that does my APs - that's NSEW in two
bands. I don't see us ever being able to utilize all
of that bandwidth in this area.
12 would include my backhauls, but I don't care about
sync'ing them. Sure would be nice to have one POE
that does all my Ubnt and Epmp radios after it gets
24v, though.

So, I have in the fairly immediate future the new
"universal" 4 port injector (in the same form
factor as the existing syncinjectors)....
And the rackmount unit is progressing well, so
that's coming as well - up to 16 or 18 ports per 1U
And then we have the item the question is about.
I intended to build a 12 port unit in a double
height din rail mountable enclosure. If you think
about gluing two syncinjectors on top of each
other and having 12 ports instead of 8 in that
same space - that's what I'm talking about.
I'm wondering how many people would use this last
product. My thought would be that once you get to
more than a handful of radios at a site, you're
probably going to end up wanting the rackmount
solution....
Using two syncinjectors will get you to 8 radios
in the same space as this proposed device, at 2/3
of the cost of the proposed device.
How many of you would be using more than 8 radios
at a site that you wouldn't just move to a
rackmount unit?
