We're going to be retrofitting some sites and installing some old Trango
ApexPlus radios. Going to inject with GigE-POE-APC's. I was hoping to
have remote power control capability since we're going to be building up
completely new cabinets anyway. Not only the remote power control, but
getting rid of the glass fuses as well. I would be fine with a single
port injector version for the crazy -48 on all pairs, return on shield
POE scheme with the ApexPlus/Lynx. I imagine that has the same issue as
the -48 PDU. Oh well, I can leave them old school until you can come up
with something. I have 14 of these things, so it'd be nice to have
something eventually.
BTW, I'll be powering these from a 48-48 RSD which is then fed from a
Traco +48 TSP+BCM UPS.
Honestly, I'd rather have the rack mount 16/18 port universal sync
injectors right now. So if you're working on that, don't worry about
this. :)
P.S. I had an Exalt radio up and crash in a thunderstorm last week. PDU
feeding a GigE-POE-APC. Port didn't trip, radio just quit. Went from
520ma utilization to about 150ma. I'm thinking soft lock. PDU saved me
from an hour and a half drive. That's where I was going with this. I
hate driving for hours just to power-cycle some piece of shit radio. So
everywhere we have these goddamn Exalts is getting either a PDU or your
new universal injector, 12 port DIN or rack mount. Gotta have it. Had
another one lock up earlier that day, and it was on its own 802.3at
brick, but it was only 5 minutes from my house. Still pissed me off.

Just got my nose deeply into R&D for other things.
The board for the PDU's was designed so we could (at least in theory)
build a -48V version. The underlying issue with it is that it would
require power from a base unit to power up any radios - since we need
positive power to run the circuitry.
If you really really really really want one, I guess we could build
one in the -48V style. I'd have to look at see what parts we'd have
to bring in to make it though.

Hey Forrest, you mentioned a -48 version of the 5ch PDU in the
past. Is this still in the works? Me want. Well, really it's a
need.
