When he does this, just for shits connect the PSU at the beginning and bridge 
all the middle stuff and just see if it works.  I will be it will be just fine. 
 

However I am certain he needs a ton of surge protectors at each end of all 
ethernet runs.... just sayin’

thats what i suggested trying first, customer wanted the extender, irritating 

he finally has caved now and will be putting a network rack in the midpoint and 
is going to place a managed switch there instead of all this other 
unsupportable cobbling. Sometimes we get a win.

  Maybe a dumb question, but has it already been tried without the extender?  


  400ft is beyond 100m, but not by all that much.  It might just work without 
any faffing around.

    I have a customer fixed on using 
https://i.mt.lv/cdn/product_files/GPeRqg_190928.pdf to extend his epmp f300 
radio run to 400+ feet. 
    if im calculating this right there will be about a 10v drop on the 24guage 
cat5, taking the 30v down to 20. If it does manage to keep the radio powered i 
see it burning out the poe circuit.

    hes fighting me on putting the cambium PSU at the midspan point and using 
his own POE to power the extender.

    Ive been overruled about telling the customer no, so its happening, but I 
want to make sure my math is correct
    using https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/wire/voltage-drop-calculator.html
    24guage, 30v, .5 amp, 400 feet shows 10v drop. but im not sure about the 
resistivity field

    this is a guy who runs constant latency monitoring and initiates tickets on 
every blip, so i see this radio move just becoming a nightmare with this 
midspan extender in play
