PacketFlux website shows 12 port as a timing port sync unit.
Are they going to do a 12 port sync injector (power port) as well? That would be nice.

True, you end up with a lot messier wiring using a midspan, but it's worth it in my opinion.... that 12 port sync injector sounds like it's going to be exactly what I want. Some of the newer stuff does support 802.3af or at now, so maybe things are starting to move the right direction. Cambium has the right idea with ePMP - they work with both the old Canopy PoE and 802.3af... I wish everyone would just do that.

Reduced functionality and reduced performance. No idea why you would. Radios go directly into an MPLS router (in terms of active electronics anyway). I'm not yet to Gino's level of going directly into CE boxes, though I may get there. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com <https://www.facebook.com/ICSIL> <https://plus.google.com/+IntelligentComputingSolutionsDeKalb> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/intelligent-computing-solutions> <https://twitter.com/ICSIL> Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com <https://www.facebook.com/mdwestix> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/midwest-internet-exchange> <https://twitter.com/mdwestix> _____ From: "TJ Trout" <t...@voltbb.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 11:06:16 PM Subject: [AFMUG] DC POE Switches Is there really no gigabit poe switches on the market available now? I just really don't understand why there aren't a bunch of types of these on the market already! I posed the question to Forrest at afmug and he stated that no one wants to be locked into a specific switch, really guys? Using a midspan injector that requires power cabling to each port, fusing, and a rats nest of ethernet cables seems so 2006, do you guys really see it that way? Yes I know about netonix, but how are they the first to market, it's 2015!???
