I'm wanting to power a mikrotik switch off of a -48v rectifier setup that already has some -48v equipment running on it. I'll be using a Meanwell DC/DC converter, which appears to not bond anything with the ground. The mikrotik, however, does bond the negative with ground. Do I need to keep the

It is less likely to be tampered with on a snowshoe. And you can store a bunch of slack that way. Space them far apart and put lots of turn on them. Much better than a coil. From: Adam Moffett Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2015 4:34 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] snowshoes vs a coil

Yes, all of those switches are snmp visible. You should be able to hover over the switches on the status screen to get the OID. Or check the MIB. In the future you may just want to hook up a Rochester sensor which puts out an analog signal to one of the voltmeter inputs. Google Rochester r3d

Not to get off topic here, but the two 5ch PDUs I just got show 35.5-ish volts on the master input... with no supply connected. And the status LED doesn't flash like it normally would if it sees no/low voltage on the master. Seems strange. Are these bad or should I just not worry about it?

They sell a plastic form to wind up slack in the air. You can lace the slack back and forth along an aerial run and use the form to maintain bend radius at each end so you're not pinching it. The form is called a snow shoe.
