Re: [WISPA] Best cat5 for a monopole

[Mike Hammett]

I am considering an S16 for MDU applications. A couple strands of SFP+ going 
back to central switching\routing and some 12 gauge copper for power.

So far so good! The 16 port is just a switch, smaller ones are routers. The 16 
is what we are using. powers 4 48vdc and 12-16 24vdc. Spring storm season will 
tell. Considering the number of fried Netonics and Digital Loggers over the 
years, with not just surge damage, but issues in software... this caused the 
switch back about 6 months ago. Using Traco power supply systems with battery 
backups and 110AC and DC surging, plus UPS 110.

Has the edgepoint been rock solid for you? Thats my main concern with that 
approach. This tower is a difficult climb (its actually a light pole) so 
avoiding trips up top is ideal.

We now do not use cat5 on commercial towers, and have opted to a power cable 
with fiber. Why run 10-12 strands of cat5 when one strand of fiber does the 
job, with ESD?

Most of the good quality outdoor Ethernet cables have a 'strength tape' in the 
middle... 

UBNT Carrier has a nice piece of plastic in the middle... 

Shireen cable has a nice fiber tape .. 

etc etc. 



If you can tie these cables at the top securely, then there should be no issue 
is letting it dangle in the center of the monopole.

Tips on what connectors to use? That looks like a very thick cable. Also how to 
hang it at the top?

That's adding unnecessary electronics in the mix. We really need SFP ports 
directly on the radios.
