Nope, that's literally all these PCB's and cables do. It's just faster and easier to have a ready made adapter/cable, than it is to make a custom cable on site. The PCB is obviously more labor intensive, but since Tycon power makes something very similar, at an almost identical price, that is ready made... Furthermore, Using either makes it _VERY_ obvious that something is abnormal at the radio, rather than a mystery cable that doesn't seem to work properly or even worse burns up radios because it isn't labeled or documented properly.
Also it's reusable, so you can take it out and use it somewhere else. -- Christopher Tyler MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Services 417.851.1107 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mathew Howard via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 4:23:41 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] POE Crossover baords Why don't you just swap pins 4/5 with 7/8 at one end of the cat5? or is this doing something else that I'm missing? ________________________________________ From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com] on behalf of Christopher Tyler via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 12:16 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] POE Crossover baords Switch outs. Sometimes you visit a customer and change them from Cambium to UBNT or vice-versa and they are not home so you have no access to the power supply. So with a crossover you just leave the old power supply and put up the new radio. Bench testing radios, less clutter if you have a "universal" power supply. I'm sure there are other uses, these are but a few that come to mind. -- Christopher Tyler MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE Total Highspeed Internet Services 417.851.1107 ----- Original Message ----- From: "TJ Trout via Af" <af@afmug.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, November 10, 2014 12:02:18 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] POE Crossover baords A new poe can't be much more???
