I just hooked up the power injector to a 50 volt supply with the polarity shown
on the power connector. Didn’t realize there were jumpers inside. The 450i
started receiving sync about 15 minutes later. I had about 260 feet of cable
total.

Well... I think that explains my problem. I'll have to check, but I on the
sites where I'm having problems, I'm powering airfibers with the same
injectors, and I think I just set the polarity the same on all the ports to
simplify things...

The 450i will power on with any polarity. So you can put + on 4&5 and - and
7&8 and it will still power on...However, for sync to be received, 4&5 needs to
be return, and 7&8 needs to be power.
If you are powering on all 4 pairs, you still need to honor this polarization
on 4&5 and 7&8 for sync to be able to be received. You can put either
polarity on 1&2 and on 3&6.

I'm confused. A 450i will receive sync with return on 4&5 and +48VDC on 7&8
only, i.e. standard Canopy polarity? 4-pair powering + sync over power is not
supported? That would be news to me.
But yeah, for my 450i cluster, I put +48VDC on PowerA, plugged the radios
in and sync works fine.

Whoah.....
You say 'switch polarity of the pins'.
That's wrong. A 450i should be hooked up exactly the same as a 450,
just at 48VDC, not 24V. If it isn't, it will power on, but won't receive sync.

Just logged into the AP tonight and still not receiving sync over
power. Here are the details of my setup:
AP firmware: 14.2.1
cable lengh from Syncpipe to Sync Injector: 8 feet
cable lengh from Powerinjector to AP: 15 feet
Syncpipe Deluxe is Revision H or H1
Powerinjector is daisy chained from a Syncinjector that is receiving
timing pulse (Have a 3.65ghz 450AP that is receiving sync over power from this
injector)
I don't have any Site Monitor or Base Units to verify if the sync is
turned on at the injector but I just received the injector last week brand new.
I do have a Sync Box for Aux port I could throw on this AP and see if I can get
sync working that way. If I really feel like it I could set the injector up for
24v power, switch polarity on pins and verify that a regular 450 AP can recive
sync from this injector. But I am guessing this may be an issue related to 450i

BTW, the GigE PowerInjector+Sync that I have at the NOC running the
four 450i's is the newest I have with s/n 118966. It has a pretty old Rev G
Deluxe pipe on it, which is attached to the ice bridge about 6" off of the
wall, but has a decent view of the west and south and is tracking 10 out of 12
sats. About 190 feet of cable to the radios. And they haven't lost sync since
they've been up, about three weeks. And I just jinxed it knowing my luck.

If the orange LED is blinking, then the injector is receiving sync,

Kurt, what software is your 450i running? FWIW, I have a limited
number of 450i APs up, but I have some on SyncBox Junior's (don't get the GPS
data) and the one PowerInjector+Sync at the NOC. All of my 450 and 450i is
running 14.1.2. Perhaps Cambium changed something in 14.2+.
I would verify that the port has sync enabled. Obviously you'd need
a base unit connected. I've plugged radios in backwards on more than one
occasion. Injector upside down for one reason or another, so the radios ended
up 4 thru 1 instead of 1 thru 4 because I wasn't paying attention. Port 4 is at
the end closest to the SyncPipe/sync daisy chain ports. That's the most obvious
issue if you turned off the sync pulse on a port to run an AirFiber. But if
multiple people have had the same problem, then my theory is bunk.

Ok, I just put a new PMP450i on a tower and am running into the
exact same problem the Original Poster had here. I have the Gigabit Power
Injector plus Sync and it is blinking for receiving sync from another Sync
Injector in the same enclosure via the included jumper cable and the AP is
running in Autosync+ Freerun and it is not showing receiving any sync at all
and it is decided to Generate its own Sync. Has been running for a couple hours
now. Will keep checking back here.

all this talk of the new units i opened our box of them, is
there a guide for the 10/100 and gigabit powerinjector jumper settings per

is it just the same as

pin order backward?
and if a guy put a 3pin connector on the A/B selector, would
that effectively put the two inputs in parallel?

Depends on the power circuitry on the airfiber. My guess is
it would be ok.
If you have a base unit, you can actually turn off the sync
on that port and the injector will remember it, so you don't have to put a base
unit in the field with it, just for the programming. (You'd set the poweron
column for the sync row for that port to '0').

I just received my first powerinjector + sync today. If I
want to power some Airfibers with these do I need to turn the sync off for
those ports? I don't see a jumper to turn off sync, is it ok to provider sync
on a port with an Airfiber? Does it hurt anything? It looks to me like the only
way to turn off sync is buy the additional site monitor base thing to hookup to
it and turn it off through the web interface?

I have four 5GHz 450i's running on our office tower fed

two short at the moment. But we know that 1000Base-T and sync over power + the
older APC's don't play nice anyway.

I've had a couple of them where I wasn't getting sync

hand), I was getting sync to an ePMP, but not to a PMP450i 900mhz AP that were
both plugged into the same sync injector... I didn't really need sync on the
900mhz at the time, so I just switched it to generate it's own timing, and I
haven't gotten around to trying to figure it out yet, but now I'm wondering if
it would eventually come up if I left it alone.

Check if the packetflux says it has fix and 1PPS is
active on the binary tab and that the used pulse count is increasing on the
analog tab.
