Or a person could buy a set of up down transformers to increase the voltage going up the tower to avoid voltage drop. Of course, running 110 up to the top is probably easier. Jack Unger wrote: You have the best solution - regulating at the top. Otherwise, as you state, the voltage at the top

There is no reason one couldn't do a custom POE that was AC. A couple thoughts... To maintain a max input of 48VDC, (to be under the low voltage codes), and to deliver 50W topside, is going to require a 14-16AWG wire pair and a 48V 60W supply at the bottom. I suspect that you will need to

Belden makes this, but I don't have a number for it. I would be really cautious if they are running 1500' single run for POE. Need to do the voltage loss calculation to be sure to use the correct power supply. Jeff Broadwick wrote: Hi All, One of my customers is looking for these

Ive used RG8 coax in the past to deliver 24V DC to about 600ft, but not at 1500ft. RG6 has significantly less loss over distance than 24AWG wire. Dave Hulsebus Scott Reed wrote: Belden makes this, but I don't have a number for it. I would be really cautious if they are running 1500' single

You have the best solution - regulating at the top. Otherwise, as you state, the voltage at the top will go up when the current load goes down. The voltage at the top will go down when the current load goes up. MUCH better to regulate at the top... os10ru...@gmail.com wrote: I'd worry about
