Re: [WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole

2017-01-21 Thread Mike Hammett 
I am considering an S16 for MDU applications. A couple strands of SFP+ going 
back to central switching\routing and some 12 gauge copper for power.

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.

I was kind of thinking along those lines but with cable. Rope would 
probably be cheaper, but make sure to get something that won't rot.

We've also learned that stringing the cables to a rope, and strapping them
every 20' or so and then hanging the rope at the top to relieve strain
increase the life expectancy.  The 90' you are talking about might not be
too bad for dangling, but at 195' we've learned that over time, it causes
problems.  Also, the messenger wire used as a ground on this cable is great

Also use a cable grip at the top.



In all seriousness though, use BBDGE or something similar.  Biggest issue I 
have had with monopoles over the years is interference on the cable.  Had this 
bite me many times.  BBDGE resolved those issues.

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.

 We now do not use cat5 on commercial towers, and have opted to a power
 cable with fiber. Why run 10-12 strands of cat5 when one strand of fiber
 does the job, with ESD?

Re: [WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole

2017-01-18 Thread Faisal Imtiaz 
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.

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.

We use UBNT Carrier. We have attached it to 1/8 cable for support. You do
have to be careful not to tear the outer shield, as otherwise you will have
water go into the cabinet.

cable with fiber. Why run 10-12 strands of cat5 when one strand of fiber

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.

[WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole

We are doing a deployment on a 90ft steel monopole where our cable will
hang inside the pole. It seems like we should be using a better grade of
cable than the Primus shielded cat5 we usually use for towers where it is
taped to the leg. Any suggestions?
