I'm not doing liquid cooling. See the pics I posted above. Just need to extend the SFP+ cage out of a Siklu radio. The alternative is to add another little switch but that adds complexity to what is a simple design. PON hanging off a Siklu for a small apartment building. Only thing active is the Siklu and the "SFP". One cyber power 48V battery backup to power the silku. If you add a switch, how are you powering it, where is it mounted, etc.
On the note of adding a switch. Has anyone used the CRS305-1G-4S+IN? Anyone have a contact at Mikrotiik who could find out the SFP+ port's power budget?
