Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

Yeah - Nova 230's on these builds. We will have an EdgePoint at the top to power ePMP and backhauls. My initial thought was to use a 5Ch PDU from PF, but I didn't want to have to put a SiteMonitor Base II+5 Ch PDU in the breakout box. But really - I think it's the best solution. It also gives

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

For a simple setup like Steve's dual ODU, I'd probably cheat and do something like a 4 or 5A fuse at the bottom, assuming about 80W per radio. Plus they're on the same antenna, height, power supply, bonded together, etc. For the single run scenario anyway. If it was dedicated runs, then yeah,

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

My feeling on topside breakout is that it is easier to replace a fuse then everything but it sucks to climb to replace a fuse if that is really the only issue. If I am breaking out up top, I use a fused dc buss with fuses a bit larger then they should be up top and then fuse for total load at the

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

I typically individually fuse each component on the rail.. just trying to figure out what the best scenario for a split-top/bottom install would be. I'll definitely put a fuse between the rail and DC cable (that runs to the top) in my bottom-box. Would you also fuse each breakout at the top?

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

Don't you have fuses on your 48V rail? On Mon, Dec 18, 2017 at 9:37 AM, Josh Baird wrote: > In this scenario - would you fuse each DC run from the small top-enclosure > (where your power/fiber breaks out) to the radio(s)? > > I'm looking at doing something similar to power

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

In this scenario - would you fuse each DC run from the small top-enclosure (where your power/fiber breaks out) to the radio(s)? I'm looking at doing something similar to power some Baicells eNBs. TSP/BCM at the bottom, 14AWG DC/fiber up the tower to a small enclosure where the power/fiber will

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

We have always gotten our hybrid cable from BestTronics. Great to work with - definitely recommend them. On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 6:22 PM, Seth Mattinen wrote: > On 12/15/17 15:03, Robert Andrews wrote: > >> I was just looking at stuff on mechanical splices, some commented

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

Well, you need to convey 105/48=2.187 amps. 24 gauge is 2.5 ohms per 100 feet. If you used 4 wires for one polarity and 4 wires for the other polarity, you would have .625 ohms per polarity or 1.25 ohms per loop/100 ft. So 1.25 * 1.2 = 1.5 ohms for the 120 foot loop. 1.5 * 2.187 = 3.28
