Re: [WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole
So far so good! The 16 port is just a switch, smaller ones are routers. The 16 is what we are using. powers 4 48vdc and 12-16 24vdc. Spring storm season will tell. Considering the number of fried Netonics and Digital Loggers over the years, with not just surge damage, but issues in software... this caused the switch back about 6 months ago. Using Traco power supply systems with battery backups and 110AC and DC surging, plus UPS 110. On Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 4:14 PM, Chris Fabienwrote: > Has the edgepoint been rock solid for you?

Re: [WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole
Most of the good quality outdoor Ethernet cables have a 'strength tape' in the middle... UBNT Carrier has a nice piece of plastic in the middle... Shireen cable has a nice fiber tape .. etc etc. If you can tie these cables at the top securely, then there should be no issue is letting it dangle in the center of the monopole. Regards.

Re: [WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole
Has the edgepoint been rock solid for you? Thats my main concern with that approach. This tower is a difficult climb (its actually a light pole) so avoiding trips up top is ideal.

You cut off the outer most plastic. Then it's "normal size" cat5. I believe I used regular rj45 from a local supply back then.
