Yeah, higher voltage = lower current = less energy lost as heat though if all your loads are 24v (Canopy, UBNT, Mikrotik) then starting with 24 saves you a conversion.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
The choice between 24 and 48 was likely more a component cost issue. The higher voltage components on the POE are more expensive than lower voltage / higher current. The original power supplies for Canopy were linear supplies. Less of an issue now that the components for switching power supplies have dropped in price so much that linear supplies are more expensive that switchers.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
Agreed. The issue I have been experiencing is that many new high-power radios are coming out (e.g. AF5/AF24) in 48V. Even one of these can tip the balance of power toward 48V, so at that point it makes sense to bite the bullet, and convert to 48V. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 6/26/2015 9:45 AM, Adam Moffett wrote: Yeah, higher voltage = lower current = less energy lost as heat though if all your loads are 24v (Canopy, UBNT, Mikrotik) then starting with 24 saves you a conversion.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
Pretty much the same here - we bought out what we could find. I don’t like the extra cost of the power cord and the additional Ethernet cable. More connections is just more places to screw it up. In addition we now have several thousand of the old style mixed in with the new style. Makes supporting it over the phone harder when we can’t tell the customer what they are looking for. I have been trying to figure out how to buy these direct from the OEM manufacturer but have not had much luck yet.

If Cambium was worried about losing a bunch of sales, they wouldn’t be dropping the product. My guess is it’s a minimum order thing. They probably have to order X thousands at a time and the last order took them a year or two to unload to distributors, and it was time to decide whether to order another container load of them and have them take up warehouse space, plus now they would be carrying two versions of POE. So if CTI or another distributor wanted to order a bunch direct from the manufacturer (or a knockoff from somewhere else), it would be reasonable to expect Cambium to give the OK.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
I think a big part of the issue with customers plugging things in wrong is labelling. Data and Data+Power means nothing to the typical caveman customer. We've been putting stickers on UBNT power supplies for years labelling the ports Antenna and PC/Router and we rarely get customers plugging them in wrong.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
Absotutely. I actually had a subscriber argue with me about the correct connection required for a Tycon POE (which I consider fairly straightforward and easy to understand). Yet he insisted that it be connected the opposite way. Where upon, I had to reverse the connection, show him that it worked. Only then was he satisfied that it was correct, but poorly labeled. At that point, I covered up the Tycon labeling, and pasted on labeling that satisfied him. Now everybody is happy.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
We had the same internal discussion. Customers are stupid. Things can only go one way with the Canopy PoE. However, we've had a lot less SMs lost to surges since we switched to the Laird POE-24iR's. Honestly, it wasn't a hard transition. The techs are able to walk customers through making sure things are plugged in correctly. /shrug And FWIW, your standard POE argument doesn't work. Canopy was baked before there was 802.3af. Cisco aironet, too, which originally used the same pinout as Canopy as well. And Trango. Shit, we were POE hacking Apple AirPorts and RG1000s in late 2002.

Re: [AFMUG] Canopy POE end of life :-/
The one I have sitting here says Phihong but it’s old enough to be Motorola not Cambium. If Cambium was worried about losing a bunch of sales, they wouldn’t be dropping the product. My guess is it’s a minimum order thing. They probably have to order X thousands at a time and the last order took them a year or two to unload to distributors, and it was time to decide whether to order another container load of them and have them take up warehouse space, plus now they would be carrying two versions of POE. So if CTI or another distributor wanted to order a bunch direct from the manufacturer (or a knockoff from somewhere else), it would be reasonable to expect Cambium to give the OK. I wouldn’t expect them to cry over the lost revenue though.
