OK, now starting to understand it. I will need one of them thar internal power supplies to measure up etc...

Most of the CCR's (with the exception of the passively cooled models, which just have a barrel connector on the back) have an internal 24v power supply - I think what people are wanting is a box tat will fit in place of the power supply and give them DC terminals where the AC plug currently is.

I'll try to snap some pictures on Tuesday when I'm back at the office. I really want some DC terminals on my cloud cores.

Most of the CCRs have 1 PSU, but two header power connectors, if you look at Faisal's links you can see what we mean. It really would be a simple product to produce. low input cost, probably could sell for $25/piece. It should have screw terminals labeled with input voltage allowed and pos /neg. You could even put in some type of fused /surge protected solution if you wanted to get creative :) Erich Kaiser North Central Tower er...@northcentraltower.com Office: 630-621-4804 Cell: 630-777-9291 On Sat, Jul 2, 2016 at 8:13 PM, Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: I have not really been following this thread.

I am not a large WIsp but with 20 sites and more being added each year where I have a Mikrotik at every site plus additional Mikrotik switches to go at the larger sites. Maybe a small drop in the bucket but hey even if they had a module that would replace the power supply with terminals I would buy enough for all my sites and extra for new ones. I am sure Someone (Chuck) could figure it out. Even if it were only for a few Rack mount series. All of our sites have some sort of DC backup no UPS. This includes the few we have with generators.

The line between WISP and ISP is blurry when a place never had terrestrial/wireline infrastructure of any sort to begin with.

To be fair, "remote deployments" are a tiny subset of WISPs, which is a tiny subset of ISPs, which is a subset of "people who deploy mikrotik".
