I can tell you the Mimosa unit is the only one I've found that works
correctly with the C5. Maybe I was sent a standard voltage model of your
GigE SS, but I had Ethernet link issues with it as well. I ordered the HV
model, but didn't see anywhere it said, so I assumed the disty sent the
wrong item. Maybe the HV would work fine.
