Hah. I did ctrl+F and searched for “MTU”. They’re saying “packet size”.
I guess I have to actually read things like some kind of plebian.

A lot of installation guides tell you to put a surge protector at the bottom
and top end of a cable going up a tower. Does anyone here actually do that?
Every installation I've seen in person has only had them on the bottom. I
think the fears people have are the SS housing leaking up or othe
If I was to put one at the top, it would be a 100% gas tube unit. They are
much more robust.

For most of our Cambium 450 and 820 gear we install the surge suppressors at
the top and some type of surge suppressor at the bottom. The upper is usually
the Cambium spec unit. The lower unit may be Cambium, Chuck’s surge
suppressors, or where we are using CTM’s it's the internal surge supp

I try hard not to do single-source items. And usually have qualified
multiple parts.
The ones which are kicking my rear this year are the 25Mhz MEMS

I'm sorry to hear this Forest.
I wanted to send you some words of encouragement though. Your products and
the solutions they provide are EXTREMELY valuable to not just my business
but our whole industry. There is a slew of stuff your products accomplish
for us that would honestly take a fraken-m
That's what concerns me. Companies like packetflux deliver topnotch gear at
affordable prices. They stand behind their product.
So forrest may bring in 10 units to verify, then order months or years
worth of component. Somewhere up the chain though one of the components
components gets a shortcut
So many vendors have had to go from JIT ordering to backlog ordering
that the parts that were ordered in 100's or 1000's are now being
ordered in the 10K's and 100K's or even 1MM's.. So the system is
broken. The fix isn't going to arrive until the market can rebalance.

Thanks for the kind words.
Just to be clear, I'm not planning on quitting any time soon. I'm too
stubborn for that.
I've just reached the point where I've passed beyond "this kinda sucks"

I could. The real problem I'm often trying to avoid is a board spin and
increased labor.
I also probably am way too fussy about what qualifications I need/want to

the like. The problem initially was that it sometimes t
I think the distributors are trying to help fix this brokenness in that I'm
now seeing restrictions on certain part quantities.
Like the electronics equivalent of you can only buy 1 package of toilet
paper a week. That of course isn't helpful if you've got a large family
that uses 2 a week. Or
Fortunately in my case we're largely doing component-level sourcing instead
of assembly-level sourcing, and I'm probably over fussy about qualifying a
new part. Plus the vendors tend to be over-fussy about change management
so the risk is rather low, at least I hope so.
