I don’t think Netonix had a DC-DC, it just puts out what it is fed. From: George Skorup Sent: Friday, May 19, 2017 4:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Netonix POE
Remember that Forrest's SyncInjector/PowerInjector/RackInjector products allow 2A per port. But maybe it doesn't matter because of the built-in current protection? Also consider that something like a Medusa could be running on battery power for >30 minutes. Say 75W @ 44VDC = ~1.71A worst case. I say 75W due to variables (cable length, etc). It's fine if your supply is always 56VDC. I use a lot of Traco BCMU360s which are regulated 48VDC, which then becomes ~1.57A. Well, it dips down to about 46 volts or so when the battery is getting low. I'm sure there are/will be folks wanting to run a 450m on a Netonix. Maybe it doesn't matter because the Netonix internal DC-DC always puts out 54VDC, doesn't it? I don't know.
