Yeah, the eNB pulls 30-ish watts. Cat5 is good nuf. Not much different
than 802.3at.

I thought about using a second cat5 for power, but I had some 14/2, so
I used that... but 14 guage really seems like overkill to me.

Two cat5's. One obviously to the data/WAN port. The other, two
pairs positive, two pairs negative. Nothing else. We did try a
GigE-POE-SS (top) and GigE-POE-APC (bottom). Power worked fine,
but couldn't get the etherlink link to come up. It was about 290
feet of cable. The eNBs have built-in SS on the data port, so
possibly too much loss or something with the MTC suppressors added in.
The new eNB coming out will have a standard terminal block and two
SFP slots. I'm planning to use the Shireen DFP-1246 with that.

Those of you who have Baicells deployed, how are you powering
the base station?
Are you running something like 14/2 up the tower and providing
-/+48VDC directly?
Ugh - I thought the eNB had SFP's, but it looks like I need to
provide data over CAT5/6?
