There has to be some metric other than just watts. 190 volts at ~~ 1/2 amp gets you your 100 watts, but so does 190 amps at a 1/2 volt.

More volts means you can use smaller diameter wire, but more volts means you need more insulation.

I'm looking at strand mounted OLT's.  One of the powering options is RFT-V which is a nominal 190VDC over twisted pair.  I have 0% familiarity with it.

I found a white paper from Commscope saying that the max is 100W, and at 3000 meters your 100W becomes 60W effective power due to voltage drop.  Is that a fair rule of thumb?

Hey Chuck, didn't you have an excel calculator for this?
