I have to disagree on the hyperlink making good pigtails (unless they have changed)...The 5 I bought last fall where junk.  The the RP SMA end pulls off with little effort. I know you should not be pulling on them, but sometimes it happens and they didn't survive. I am very happy with Electrocomms and Pacific Skylan's (psnol.com). ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Chance To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 2:00 AM Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Wireless repeater rig Get pigtails from a reliable place like hyperlinktech.com they make very good pigtails I ordered some from some other companies and 2/10 were bad, hyperlinks are sturdy and well made, as for the nema box pretty much any outdoor electric store should have them I buy mine from a local company that sells electrical supplys they have pretty much every size. As for this configuration sounds very good and should work I believe, as for the poe on the sb yes you can do this it will work fine just keep it under 150feet and also as for the heat I haven't had problems in a cheapy 12$ nema box that I have one of these on a tower in ap mode.   From: Dave Covert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 10:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   I need to make a POE-powered sB repeater box to 'light up' an area. Since the speedTrap-2 isn't out yet (want a beta tester? <g>) I need to make one. What I envision is an aPPi running repeater mode in a NEMA box. Each SMA antenna port on the aPPi would have a pigtail to a bulkhead mounted N-type connector. To one connector I attach an 18dBi panel pointed back to the tower and to the other connector I attach a 6-9dBi omni cross-polarized to the big panel. Customers within a couple-hundred feet use an aBi thru walls to talk to the omni. Clients a little further away use aBOs with little panels pointed at the omni.   I am guessing someone has done this before... would you mind divulging the part number and supplier of the parts you used? Specifically... NEMA box to house the aPP and pigtails? SMA to bulkhead N-type pigtails?   I am guessing the aPPi will work on POE outside in a NEMA box? Do you have to take the aPPi board out of the factory box when you put it in the NEMA box to keep it from getting too hot? (double insulation).   Dave Home Wireless Company
