Guess I should correct my grammar and say which suppressor(s)?
And follow that up with the assumption that you're using Chuck's
suppressors? The only one that produced no errors for me is the CAT6-APC
which is just gas tubes, no diodes. He asked me to test one more thing
with the Rev G GigE-APC, but I just haven't had the time to get out to a
site and do it.
I am using some Rev D and E GigE-APCs on Canopy and ePMP at 100Mbps and
sync pulses present and those work fine. Gigabit is the real pain in the
ass. Gigabit + Canopy sync is even more of a pain in the ass. I've got
old Rev A (or B? I don't remember) GigE-APCs and GigE-POE-APCs that work
fine at gigabit and no sync pulse, mostly AirFibers and some Exalt
radios on those.
The CAT6-APC is probably what we'll move forward with for everything
since it'll be the most universal and offer decent protection. Actually
probably better than decent. I think Chuck said the clamp voltage is
around 90-100 volts. The cheap stuff might die, but it's cheap so who cares.

I have a A5C that is giving me grief. I'm getting hundreds of Rx FCS
errors on the Mikrotik when I'm running gigabit, if I force it to 100
fdx, the Rx FCS errors stop, but Rx Code errors start incrementing
instead. I've always gotten some amount of Rx FCS errors from Mimosa
A5/A5C units, but not nearly this many. It's starting to have an
effect on service on the sector.
Any ideas what I should look at? Some people were claiming that
putting something like a Netonix in between the Mimosa and the
Mikrotik solved their issues, but I'm wondering if the surge
suppressors are creating an issue as well.
