I really really really really really want every radio to do SFP and DC.

What I keep hearing from customers is that they want to run a
multistrand cable up the tower and have an all in one box at the
top which they terminate the cable into, hook up power to it, and
then run short jumpers to their radios. I've heard this from
enough different customers that it seems like a common desire.
They all seem to want the box to do media conversion and power
injection and sync, with remote control and not much more. When
quizzed about just doing a switch and an injector up top, they all
expressed how this was unacceptable.
At this point I'm looking at feasability. I'm not sure if this
will ever see the light of day, a lot depends on the amount of
R&D required.

Forrest,
For what it is worth, when we went Fiber (MST) up the tower,
we run UBNT S16s up there which is simple and working well,
and GPS pucks on the ePMP, or Syncbox 12 (or Junior) for
devices that need sync. We have a handful of 450s, 25 320s,
and a dozen or so 900s where we use the SyncBox.
Been very pleased so far with the reliability of the S16 POE.
We VLAN APs in one group and BH’s each on their own VLAN, and
bring it down the fiber. If we have other devices with fiber,
we bring them down on their own fiber (off the same MST). Of
course there is core router with fiber inputs only being used
(with the exception of the sitemonitor which I may have to buy
a media converter for just to isolate the electrical
connection into the router.
So, as far as anything up top, I would think it would have to
be some form of switch, or it would be quite kludgy.

I've torn a couple apart that use a fairly easy to use
chipset. But only available in commercial temperature range.
Some of the battle here is figuring out the vendors who do
this type of stuff. I want to avoid switches since I want
this as transparent as possible, but I might end up having to
go there. I have another secret weapon in my arsenal but I'm
hoping I don't have to go there since that's more software and
software takes time.

Yeah, maybe I should be clearer what I'm looking at.
I'm looking at various options to build a tower-top box to
simplify the fiber up the tower with syncronized radios at
the top.. Think a multiport ubiquiti fiberpoe with sync
over power and a gps receiver built in, along with
tower-top management.
I don't want to include a switch up top - most people want
as little as possible up there, and I'd rather keep the
whole thing as simple as possible - I'd rather just use a
copper-to-sfp chipset, but I haven't found any which I
feel comfortable integrating. So I need to tear some
more of the units apart to figure out what chipsets are
available.

RB260.
Haven't had one fail due to cold yet that I know of.
That's a switch, so maybe it's more complicated than
you're going for.

I want to buy another selection of gigabit copper
to sfp converters for reverse engineering
purposes. Ideally some which are known to work
well and especially any which don't fail in non
climate controlled environments.
What is everyone using?
