I was working on a water tower today and I have a new 24v model WAR-METRO at the top. I have not powered it yet but it will be on about 225 foot of 24 gauge CAT5. My question is does anyone know what the max input voltage is on these things? Wlanparts.com lists it as 24v-48v input and I was trying to search the STAR-OS forums and Lonnie I think mentioned 48v is the absolute max and that 48.1v will start damaging the board. I have a 48v power supply bought from RFLINX in hand that I would like to use. If my calculations are right by the time the voltage gets up the Ethernet at this footage it will be outputting around 46-47 volts so it should not damage the board at that range. I have ran the board on the same 48v power supply on the bench and it ran fine for the few minutes it was plugged in.
Looking for comments from anyone that may have ran a 24v METRO board on 48v POE or similar. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O.
