I've had a few of those BCM48's have the battery light turn off and stop
charging batteries.
I have no idea what causes it. I know it's not the fuse and power cycle
doesn't fix it. In all cases the batteries tested fine, but a new BCM
works.

Traco BCMU. PacketFlux 5ch PDU. Current limit conservatively at 1500mA,
could probably drop it to 1000. Each eNB pulls about 650 @ regulated
48VDC.
New stuff, especially when the new eNB comes out, my plan is to start
using a real rectifier, DC and fiber to any radio I get it to. The cool
thing is the eNBs are floating, so -48 works fine.
Then I hope Forrest can do a -48 5ch PDU card for the RackInjector. And
also maybe generate 1588v2 PTP out of the controller so I can feed a
switch to feed the radios. #dreams

I'd assume he's just stripping the wires in the cat5 and wiring it
directly in... at least that's what I'd do. Of course using a
GigE-POE-APC would work, and it would get you surge suppression on the
DC line, but I'm thinking it would probably make more sense to use a
DCSS-APC instead.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Standard DC terminals and SFP's
would be nice so we could use something like DFP-1246.
George - what are you using to inject the power into the CAT5 at the
bottom? A PowerInjector or a GigE-POE-APC?

In addition to what everyone else suggested, you should be able to
power these with either a powerinjector+sync (4 ports), or a
rackinjector with the standard injection card with standard CAT5.

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?
