At the very least I have to have 8 inductors, or 4 toroids choking the data going to the house. Then we could have 8 switches that short out and bypass the chokes. I think about this between 2 and 4 in the morning when the dreams do not entertain.
(The last entertaining dream I had was an employee purchased two bottles of Listerine for me and we discovered that each bottle came with a stock certificate for the Listerine company under the label. Then a guy from the Listerine company showed up and tried to strong arm me into signing a proxy. I wouldn’t do it. Where does this stuff come from...?)

First problem is the 8 pole dual throw switch. They exist but they are physically large and expensive. Second problem is that 444 segregates data on 4 wires and power on 4 different wires. With GigE ata and power are on all 8 wires. So, I would have to have some inductors switch into the circuit to block the data from the house when the test port is being used. Can be done. Not sure if I could do it in that small box. And it would make it considerably more expensive. Shall I do it?

I imagine the 444 would work with a lot of Mikrotik CPE, or cameras, or anything 100BaseT with power on the spare pairs. That probably means a hundred different possible uses to list. *shrug* maybe it doesn't matter and they should just get the gigE unit if they're not sure. How come there's no test port on the GigE-POE? Seems like if you could tick that one box you could just deprecate the 444. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 1/9/2017 2:17:56 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Emailing: Surge Suppressor Technical Chart.pdf This better? From: Adam Moffett Sent: Monday, January 09, 2017 11:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Emailing: Surge Suppressor Technical Chart.pdf I think it's clear enough. The only question that came to mind was I don't know what the Case Style of "PCB Only" means. One other comment is that nothing actually says we're looking at surge protectors or that they are ethernet surge protectors. That's irrelevant if the chart is displayed in a context where that's obvious. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: 1/9/2017 1:02:27 PM Subject: [AFMUG] Emailing: Surge Suppressor Technical Chart.pdf How can I improve this?
