Re: [WISPA] Quick-Connect PoE at CPE

2007-01-05 Thread Mark Nash - Lists
Used one of these quick-connect pigtails today on a Tranzeo installation. 
Had to bore the hole out on the waterproof boot to 7/8 (I expected this), 
and it worked like a charm.  A nice, unexpected bonus is that the cable on 
this pigtail is less stiff than the outdoor cable I use, so it bends, stuffs 
into the boot and slips into the RJ45 jack on the CPE much better than the 
other cable.


On the down-side of this install, I left my tool belt somewhere prior to 
this afternoon and had to get by with other tools in the truck. Slow-going 
when you have to work out of your element. :(

How to you obtain these? and do you put on the pigtail portion of it or 
do they come terminated?


What are others doing for this?

Don't the tranzeo's already come with some kind of external quick connect?

Re: [WISPA] Quick-Connect PoE at CPE

2006-12-31 Thread Mark Nash
It's not a quick-connect...just a pass-through.  If you want access to the 
RJ45 jack on the CPE, you've got to take the whole weatherproof boot off. 
That makes a big difference as to what I'm wanting to do.


With the quick-connect pigtail, CPEs can be assembled, terminated and 
configured in the shop prior to installation in the field.  When our install 
tech goes out, he will test the CPE with a test cable (running off the 
inverter in the truck) just by aiming the CPE by hand.  The Tranzeo has 5 
signal strength LEDs on the back of it.  If a location is chosen, it still 
needs to wrenched down on a mount for the one installer to be able to do 
further testing.  Prior to having these, the installer would have to either 
put a boot on with the test cable, or risk water damage to the CPE during 
testing.  So WITH these, on-premises testing and installation can occur in a 
weatherproof environment.


Also, it's very handy for an on-site tech to be able to plug into the CPE 
when on a service call.  All testing/realignment/etc can be done without the 
customer being present.
