Hard to answer.  Power up the MT with it resting on something that is not 
conductive.

Measure from both sides of the incoming power to the chassis and ethernet 
shield connection.
If there is no voltage between chassis and shield and either side of the power 
input it is probably a floating load.
If it is a floating load you can hook it up to any source of 48 volts.  

However, if you measure a voltage from chassis to the positive input, then it 
is a negative ground load and will short out a –48 input.

Subject: -48 vDC to 48 vDC

I have a Mikrotik hEX PoE plugged into a telco -48 vDC plant by reversing the 
polarity of the power wires.

Should I expect a cat 5 connection between the router and the DSLAM to cause 
issues?
