Hello...got a run of cat5 about 450' that is working but doesn't seem to be sufficiently powering the amplifier built into the antenna.  The device is a Terabeam EtherAnt-Turbo/LR (same as Proxim's Terastar EtherAnt/LR).  It works but SNR should be better.  If I power the thing locally (25' of cat5) it works as it should, so I think it may be insufficient power. 
 
It's got a 48v 0.4a power supply.  I know that it's far over spec for PoE...but specs were made up from engineers who have to play it safe for what they recommend.  So...any field answers to my dilemma?  Is more information needed?
 
Perhaps a side question:  What drops over distance...volts or amps?  Please consider the non-electrically-experienced crowd.
 
Thanks much.
