I will always swap them if there is a concern. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, November 28, 2016 7:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] GIGE-POE-APC confusing model number
OK, so somebody at the factory got carried away writing LV on stuff with the sharpie. I don’t know if this is good news or bad news for me. It means I am OK with the ones I’ve got. But it also means I can’t blame having the wrong model for any problems hoping to swap them out and have a fix.

POE has always been designed for a range of 12-60 volts. So there is no way it could have been an LV version without shorting out the POE. Everything did start out LV until we added POE to the mix. Eventually it was 90% HV sales and the other 10% returned them wanting HV once they discovered the difference.

And if I have some that are marked LV, they are actually the same as the current version? I bought a bunch of them awhile ago, and they might have been old stock at the reseller. I thought everything started out LV, then people had trouble at high RF sites and with Canopy sync-over-power spikes and you introduced the HV versions, and then everything became HV. I’m pretty sure the surge suppressors (without POE insertion) had LV and HV versions. Can you clarify?

Actually it is pretty much impossible for it to ever have existed because I don’t think anyone does POE at 12 volts or lower. The marking must have been a mistake. Yes, we quit making LV products years ago. I am working on a new crib sheet for the AnimalFarm event. It is confusing, even for me, at times. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, November 28, 2016 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AFMUG] GIGE-POE-APC confusing model number The ones I have deployed and on the shelf have “LV” written on them in Sharpie. I believe you discontinued the LV version and everything is HV now. But I think resellers are confused that some products have HV at the end and some don’t have anything. I went to pick some up at WAV, and they thought I wanted GIGE-POE-HV which they had, but they didn’t have the APC version. Or maybe they do have it, but they aren’t sure about the part numbers. I wanted to replace everything with the HV version to possibly eliminate some random Ethernet drops we’re seeing at sites that use this power inserter. You might need to send out a crib sheet to resellers.
