The “enable long cable” command turns off the safety mechanism for the rest of
the POE out ports. If there is a short they will not automatically power down.
The only real problem I’ve run into is feeding the Powerbeam M5. If the device
is plugged into the 750 or Powerbox it powers on no problem. If the
750/powerbox reboots the Powerbeam isn’t automatically detected and powered on.
I have to force that port to power on. I’ve had this on three different sites,
every Powerbeam to Powerbox I’ve had on a tower.
Once set to forced on I’ve had no issues at all.
I’ve got quite a few of these in the field.
I’m going through the rest of the emails on the list to see if there are any
questions I can answer.

The PowerBOX version comes with a 2.5A power supply, and PoE adapter /
injector. I typically just connect that inside the building, and run Cat5e up
to the PowerBOX.

You feed it POE? Where do you get a 2 amp POE?

We always either have the power supply inside a building or in a small
enclosure, and just feed the PowerBox with PoE... unless there's some kind of
an outdoor power supply you can buy, I don't know how else you could do it.

That's awesome!!! This would be very handy. How do you seal the power
supply feeding the Powerbox if it's outdoors? If I could figure this out I
wouldn't need any kind of enclosure.

Oh... I thought you were talking about the PowerBox (which is an
RB750UP in an outdoor case).
I'm not sure... I would assume it would be the same as if you plug the
PoE out side of a power injector into something that doesn't support PoE... in
my experience, they either work fine or something starts smoking :P
Yeah, ether1-poe-in-long-cable would be it, and yes, it only applies on
ether1.

They're the same white plastic case as the RB750 if that's what
you're referring to. It does have a big fat power supply, though.
What happens if you try forced on to something such as a dumb switch
or laptop?
Are you talking about ether1-poe-in-long-cable ? That would only
apply on ether1, wouldn't it?

We have a bunch of them out there, the only issue that I've run
into is that you need to make sure to enable long poe cable mode (or whatever
it's called... something like that) if you're powering them with PoE, otherwise
they do some crazy stuff. I've seen some weird stuff happen trying to use
poe-out auto, so I always set it to forced on. They're pretty much the same
guts as an RB750UP in an outdoor case... they've been as reliable as any other
MikroTik, in my experience.

Has anyone been using these? They look just too ideal.
I found that the default config (poe-out auto) works out of the
box for Ubnt and a dumb switch. Just checking to see if anyone's found them to
fail or anything obscure out in the field.
