Chuck, You want this adam guy has an accident, maybe he trips and
falls, lands on a cambium SS a couple times, maybe it happens by
his towe, may that tower has a weak leg and falls on him? maybe
somebody forgets some gas cans in his living room, maybe a racoon
with a pack a day smoking habit shows up. I dont know, sometimes
things happen to guys who dont use mccown tech stuff. not sayin
there is a correlation, just happenstance that guys with MT
products brakes dont fail on a downhill grade like guys with other
brands.

For 48VDC I would actually prefer to see MOVs rather than (or
in addition to) silicon avalanche diodes. You’d never put an
MOV across an Ethernet data line, but this is power, and MOVs
can take a punch.
Purewave used to recommend a device I think the model number
was PP1, I don’t know who made it, and it doesn’t appear to be
sold anymore. But it had MOVs and maybe some other stuff.
Also had a light you could see from the ground which was
surprisingly useful. I don’t think it had an internal fuse.
I’d probably put that at the bottom, and maybe not a second
surge protector.

In my last adventure we installed DC up the tower to 50 or 60
devices using the $40 Cambium 200SSH. I don't know much about
the device, but after several years of lightning seasons
nothing had exploded. That device was actually chosen due to
a physical space restriction and not because it was believed
to be better.
I had looked at the McCown Tech SS as well, but same space
limitation applied as the Transtector. (I was mounting on the
inside of a cabinet door, and there was a limit on thickness
of the housing).
Transtector is basically the name brand in this field though.
You won't get fired for buying the Transtector.

I was talking to Ken Ruppel w/ Aviat about this just last
week, we are going to utilize the one they recommended for

I may consider the din rail one for in the box.

For those of you running DC up the tower, what are you
using for surge suppression at the top and bottom?
I have seen these mentioned previously on this list:

Anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks,
Josh
