Personally I would change to a mikrotik style poe injector with a 2.1x5.5mm 28-32v 1a+ dc power adapter On Sun, Apr 18, 2021, 8:31 PM Sam Lambie wrote: > I can't shorten the cable, but I can increase the wire size to 23 awg Cat6 > and increase the amperage available to 1 amp. > > > On Sun, Apr

I can't shorten the cable, but I can increase the wire size to 23 awg Cat6 and increase the amperage available to 1 amp. On Sun, Apr 18, 2021 at 8:28 PM TJ Trout wrote: > This is something that can be easily calculated; > > 450b 10w @ 24v > > Cable 24awg @ 200ft > > Voltage drop: 2.14 >

This is something that can be easily calculated; 450b 10w @ 24v Cable 24awg @ 200ft Voltage drop: 2.14 Voltage drop percentage: 8.90% Voltage at the end: 21.86 Input Voltage 20 - 32 V DC Probably need to shorten the cable or increase the wire size or increase the supply voltage.. On Sun, Apr

[AFMUG] Voltage drop issues on 450b radio. I think.

Hey all, I am running into some issues with a 450b PTP setup. The Slave is running at 200' of cable and the radio powers up, but doesn't transmit. I got it to talk to the BHM (450b) and toned in the signal at -58 on both ends for a couple of days at one point then it fizzled out. Swapped channel
