Re: [WISPA] Defective Microtik

Yes, but in most shielded cable we get, the drain wire is just a bare, silver wire inside the cover like that one. If you aren't grounding that, you aren't really doing anything but wasting money on cable... :( Travis Josh Luthman wrote: *Face plant* Never heard of those before... I'm assuming the black wire in this picture is the drain wire? It doesn't drain water, but is conductive - is this right? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FTP_cable3.jpg Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 "When you have eliminated the impossible, that which remains, however improbable, must be the truth." --- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 10:39 PM, Jayson Baker <jay...@spectrasurf.com>wrote: Uhm, if you use shielded cable, you must use shielded connectors. Using unshielded connectors, with shielded cable, is like having a 100' long lightning/static pickup cable that will drain right into your board. Shielded connectors, shielded cable, drain wire soldered on, into a good grounded POE injector == no problems for many years On Mon, Aug 3, 2009 at 8:36 PM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com wrote: You lost me - drain wire?

We're installed thousands in Colorado (second worst lightning in the country, next to Florida) and everytime we install without shielded cable-it's junk after a storm. We use shielded cable on ALL installs-customer installs as well. And the good grounded PacWireless POE injectors. With thousands in service, it's rare we get a lightning related service call. We justify the extra couple dollars in cable by saving the cost of truck rolls, replacement equipment, and unhappy customers.

Out of dozens out there none survived and were replaced, necessarily, by a newer board.

We purchased four this year so far and one beeped once only on 18v not higher or loser voltages but it never beeped twice or got to an interface we could use. We just installed another one and it now is giving kernel errors and unless authenticate all is on everyone loses registration every few hours. We updated the firmware but with no positive result. My costs for tower climbers and anger from the 150 customers on the radio that went bad the day after we installed it is getting costly and wearing on my staff. We're going back right now to reinstall the old 133 board. Any others having these problems?
