You just think that's an LED on his SS board. Really, it makes the
entire Cat5 an antenna that transmits statistics back to Beehive
Manufacturing Central.

No, wait, that's where the surges come from.

If you don't have a surge suppressor then you need a tower climber to
change the switch. Either way, a climb is required.
Remember surge suppressors are not like fuses. In the sense that
they don't "blow" with every suppression event. They can shunt some
spikes to ground, save the switch port, and live to fight another
day. If they do give their lives to save the switch then you need a
climb. But would have likely have needed that climb anyway to replace
that switch or change ports. So suppressors at the top will reduce
the number of climbs although you will never know how many times the
surge suppressor saved you.
Maybe Chuck should put a strike counter circuit in the suppressor and
change to a subscription model. You have to pay for each strike that
he saved you from.

That was my first thought, but then it requieres a tower climb to
change blown supressors..

Those putting Switches at the tower top, what kind of protection are
you using for the Ethernet ports?
Are you using surge suppressors?
I was thinking of using Industrial POE switches at the top, feed DC
and fiber, then short runs to the radios (epmp and 450 are poe compliant)
Should I go straigt to the radios?
