Hmm... aside from the benefits of having a surge suppressor, that actually seems like a good idea for anything that has a DC plug (without screw terminals). Just stick one of these http://www.mccowntech.com/800-dcss-ss-outdoor-dc-power-line-surge-suppressor-protector/ and the problem of needing to run a new cable up when you change to new gear is solved.

They had a special connector that required a special crimp tool if you wanted to make your own, but if you used their recommended 48VDC surge protector, that gave you a convenient place to transition to screw terminals. They claimed the basestation field failure rate went to near zero when they started having customers install the surge protectors. What you’re probably looking for is an industry standard connector with screw or compression terminals, like the “Phoenix” connectors that Trango and Packetflux use? Usually that requires some sort of housing that attaches to the gland, to provide room for the connector.

Not a Molex connector that requires a special tool. Sorry Telrad. My beef with the Molex connector approach is that it would be a huge problem field terminate that. When we transitioned from an older Wimax model to the Compact, we had to run a new power cable every time, and now we have a bunch of dead weight power cables on the tower. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Eric Kuhnke" <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: 1/5/2017 9:44:23 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 5GHz Multipoint w/ sfp? Vendors... If you're listening, a radio with an SFP port that you still have to power over 802.3af/802.3at PoE and a cat5e cable is not a real carrier grade solution. It needs to have screw terminals for a -48VDC connection, same as any proper carrier grade full outdoor licensed PTP radio.
