Was the 12-port DIN PIPS scrapped? I would still really like to see that
for existing smaller cabinets.
An 8-port injector module + 4-port DIN PIPS + fuse blocks is a lot of
wiring and takes up quite a bit of space. And then I've got only 4 ports
of Canopy Sync. So a 12-port PIPS would be great.

I'm a bit confused....
We've been shipping web-enabled cambium-compatible sync products in
the DIN rail form factor for years. It's called a SiteMonitor base
unit in combination with one or more powerinjector+sync products (and
the SyncInjectors before them). All a RackInjector is is the
powerinjector+sync product in combination with what will become the
Sitemonitor Base Unit III hardware. But you don't get any real
meaningful functionality difference between the
been-shipping-for-years din mount product and a RackInjector other
than the prettier web interface and a different form factor. Heck,
until just recently the RackInjector didn't have SNMP and the older
hardware did.
The reason why I asked what product you were referring to is the only
shortcoming of the din rail form factor has been the lack of
cambium-style sync such as is used by the 450i/450m. We launched that
hardware in the RackInjector form factor because we knew we would
need some more engineering work to be done to be able to fit it back
in the power injector case. We also wanted to make sure it could
work standalone (without a base unit) and run off of either + or -
supplies. If you sniff around on the PacketFlux website over the
next few days I have a feeling you'll find a cambium sync version of
the PowerInjector which appears sometime shortly before WISPAPALOOZA,
with shipments starting 30-45 days after.
The SiteMonitor III is going to be a while later. We have 2
additional updated products launching at WISPAPALOOZA, all of which
are a result of the engineering which was done for the above product.
Specifically the SiteMontior single port din rail mount injector and
the 5 channel PDU are both now polarity agnostic. There might be
another couple of products which come out in short succession
afterwards, depending on how testing on prototype boards goes. But
this has all taken time away from the Base III, which sort of has been
put on the back burner until we can clear these other products out.
