There are lots of choices. For DIN rail, I keep the Traco 360W units in stock, use them with or without the BMU depending on whether it’s an AC or DC site.
For non DIN rail, I keep Mean Well 150W and 300W HRP series in stock. Most stuff is going to 48V, so I’m building DC sites as 48V now. Small DC-DC for 24V if needed, more and more not needed. And of course whenever we say 48V, the equipment needs to actually accept up to at least 60V. It’s starting to drive me crazy when I want to add a sector at a site and realize the existing sectors are 24V but the new one will have to be 48V. The RackInjectors and PowerInjectors handle this nicely, but it’s a recipe for disaster and a source of confusion. I’ve already fried a 450 AP at a tower with mixed vintage equipment, because I thought it was a 450i and I powered it with 48V. It ran for a couple days and then died. Techs keep questioning me when I say an AF5x or a Nanostation ac takes 24V. I understand the confusion, you don’t expect 24V on a Gigabit POE. What would really make sense is if equipment would accept either voltage, and either polarity. OK, not possible with high current draw radios like a Medusa or an AF11, but it would be nice on a Nanostation.

The 48V 2.5A power supplies will run 2 non 3.65 medusa radios each. If you jumper the boards so 2 radios run off of each power supply you'll be fine (the AF24 is a similar quantity of power). But, a bulk supply is probably a better idea if you can find one in your right form factor.

CMM5 is waaay to expensive for what it does and is clunky. I've been looking at Packetflux's RackInjector's. I'm not familiar with PacketFlux products and need clarity on something. See attached. I need to power (3) 450m AP's and a(1) AF24. I also need physical spares for each unit. Is the attached parts list correct or am I missing something?
