[AFMUG] Combining outputs from 800-GigE-POE

2020-07-09 Thread Carl Peterson
If a reverse power situation let's say I had four 24V Gige POE injectors. Each connected to a 800-GigE-POE and set to extract the power. Now I wanted to combine them into one input to power a small switch so that any or all of them could power the switch. Would I need a diode(s) or is there enoug

We typically use smaller 20-50ah SLA batteries from Zeus, eBay, etc, but I'm looking to deploy some front-terminal 75-100ah batteries at a new site. Northstar Blue keeps coming up, but they seem to be super expensive. What is everyone using and where are you getting them? Thanks! -- AF mailing

For backup applications you should use Reds. We use Red HTs. Worth it IMHO. On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 11:07 AM Josh Baird wrote: > We typically use smaller 20-50ah SLA batteries from Zeus, eBay, etc, but > I'm looking to deploy some front-terminal 75-100ah batteries at a new > site. > > Northstar

The DC circuit of these injectors is not much more than a simple splice. They will cross feed if that is what you are worried about. So yes, diodes would be needed on all of them to prevent reverse power. From: Carl Peterson Sent: Thursday, July 9, 2020 10:02 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Use

Thanks Chuck, Should I be worried about reverse power? What diodes would you recommend and where would I place it? Across the +- output terminal on each GigE-POE? Total load would be something less then .75A. Likely closer to .5. On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 11:36 AM wrote: > The DC circuit of t

Well, you are going to lose a volt. I would put them in series with the + on each one. 1n4004 will work great for this. From: Carl Peterson Sent: Thursday, July 9, 2020 10:42 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Combining outputs from 800-GigE-POE Thanks Chuck, S

I have 16 of the Northstar 100FT Silver that have been in service for about 10 years at 2 different sites, one with HVAC, the other without. They still work like new. I had to ship them freight on a pallet because I bought them from a telecom surplus dealer, they were new but past the 12 month

My memory is that we had a deal with a local dealer in Annapolis, but Netusite is telling me we are currently buying them from CEA Power. Looks like shipping for 4 NSB100-HT reds and 4 NSB40-HT reds was $170. That would be for one core site and one smaller cabinet site. On Thu, Jul 9, 2020 at 1

Has anyone submitted a tower for FAA review and an ASR number since March? How long are these taking? We were told it's usually around 30 days for the review and 45 days for an ASR number. But we have one at 60+ days and hearing nothing but crickets. Is this backlogged or taking a lot longer

Has been since the treaties were signed way back when. Most of Oklahoma is Native American land. Maybe tower operators will have to pay rent to the indigenous peoples. bp On 7/9/2020 5:17 PM, Matt Hoppes wrote: So Tulsa and much of Eastern Oklahoma was just declared Indian lands. What does
