My last employer had some sites with a CMM4 at the top. Those worked
great. Zero problems.
You can either replace the included switch with a similar model that has
an SFP slot, or add an industrial media converter. There's a resettable
accessory power port that you can use for the media converter if you go
that route.
Here we're ending up with nothing but SFP's and DC power going up the
tower. Telrad base stations and Trango Apex Lynx for BH.

We are seeking feedback from people that are using fiber up the tower
instead of Cat5. Interested to know what equipment (power) you are
running at the base, and what equipment (switches, routers, POE,
Ethernet protection etc.) that you have at the top.
How is it working for you? Has having everything at the top proved to
be much more stable? It�s kinda scary to change from our current way
of doing it, but power surges are kicking are butt, clobbering radios
on the Ethernet side (mostly ePMP).
Looking forward to some good feedback.
Thanks!
