I'm getting pricing on this - if it's anything remotely reasonable I'm
really thinking about using this for tower sites. With 3 fiber feeds
and 3 power feeds I can use one power/fiber pair to each of the SAF
Integra's, and use the other one to go to a enclosure with power and a
switch to connect to the APs'.
I'm trying to find out if I can get a small switch and a PacketFlux
Syncinjector stuffed into a 3M Tower Dome Closure:

The combination seems like it would solve a lot of problems. It gives
us one cable up the tower and the cable fits properly into standard
tower hangers. The dome closure can be built on the ground with
appropriate length cables to each AP so that the whole thing can be
assembled on the ground and then hoisted into place so that the tower
monkeys only have to plug things in.
The other nice part is if you are using contract tower crews the whole
thing looks just like installing a standard Remote Radio Unit (RRU)
radio head, so they should both not need a lot of retraining.
If we could get our radio manufacturers to start making equipment with
SFP's this would be even easier. That's a hint there Cambium.

We do power and fiber up the tower as our standard...ever since that
standard has been used, I don't think we've lost a site yet.
