There are other injectors that will power a SAF.

I believe the max spec for the Lumina HP is about 55 watts. Slightly more than 
an AF24 at 50 watts (@ 50V). Maybe 56V would bring the current down a little. 
Forrest did say 1A max per port, which would be right on the edge for the AF24. 
So there has to be a little wiggle room in there. Hopefully.

    Do your gigabit injectors work with SAF Lumina?

      Yep, pretty much anything you mentioned.  Anything which will work with a 
passive power injector.   Notable exceptions:  Cambium 320/430 radios (oddly 
pinned power not compatible with a true gigabit radio), and other radios which 
try to do everything across the eight pairs and end up breaking compatibility 
as a result - for instance some of the high end microwave radios which don't do 
true PoE but instead rely on their own special injector which does everything 
under the sun. 

      ETA:  Depends on how many projects we can juggle at once.   The next 30 
days or so are consumed with Wispamerica and trying to get the new 4 port 
injector released to production.   After that happens, we're going to try to 
simultaneously work on both this project and the 12 port version of the 'din 
mountable' injector.   Assuming that works well, we're looking at probably 
around 90 days (from now) for both the 12 port and the rackmount unit.  But, 
this all can slip if we need to spin a board.

        I vote 18 port.  Make sure it supports PMP100, PMP450, PMP450i, ePMP, 
Mimosa and others.  I assume gigabit?  Really like idea of being able to 
replace in 6 port chunks too. 

        ETA?  Really liking this product.

          Well, it looks like it might actually be finally happening.  

          We are about 98% sure we have a rackmount enclosure manufacturer 
which we can work with. Domestic.  Product looks decent.  Price is right.

          Which means it's time to nail down a few details here, such as number 
of ports, so I can get some enclosures cut and boards made and hopefully get 
this elephant out of the room....  

          So I need some input:


          The rough figures I'm working with here is $800 for a 18 port 
rackmount power injector.  Voltage and pinning jumper selectable per port. 
Per-port control of power and sync.  Probably some redundant power and other 
things built in, but I'm still nailing those details down (a lot of it comes 
down to space on the front panel of the enclosure).

          PLEASE NOTE:  The prices here are soft - until I get the design 
completed I won't know what I can sell this for - as many of  you know I try to 
price things at a fair price as opposed to what the market will bear.

          The main questions I have for the list are:

          Is 18 the correct number of ports?   18 is looking like about the 
most I can fit based on front panel dimensions.  This corresponds to 3 blocks 
of 6 ports (if you lose a port and need to replace it, you'd replace 6 at a 
time).   

          Other options are 16 (4 blocks of 4), and pretty much any smaller 
quantities of ports which are divisible by 4 or 6.   

          I guess what I'm really asking here is whether the 18 port version 
for $800 is the only version of this I should make or carry, or does it make 
sense to sell (as an example) an 8 port version for $400 instead of or in 
addition to this?
