Big thank you to L-com. Use a POE based backhaul product to avoid cable loss. The amp will also hurt your noise floor by amplifying interference/noise as well.
If you are concerened about unreliability of having electronics atop the tower with regard to a POE radio solution, an amp is electronics atop the tower, so that argument doesn't hold water.
