The Baicells 1-watt eNB @ 3.5/3.6GHz is about 65 watts. I haven't
actually measured this, but I can next week when I'm at one of those
sites. So.. 4 of those would be 260 watts.
And I thought the Netonix 48VH POE mode is limited to 0.75A per port...?
Those eNBs are going to pull well over 1A per port.

We install the DC powered Netonix 12 port switch today on the water tower power

Baicells sectors all four of them are power off of 48 V ports 123 and 4. When
we first installed them all of them powered up individually on the CAT5 cables
one at a time. We are using a 48 V POE splitter that works fine at several of
our other locations. At one point we rebooted the DC powered switch and noticed
that over and over and over it would power on the ports in a soon as the radios
would start power up the entire switch with power cycle again. This happened
about eight times before I unplugged all four of the CAT5 cables from ports one
through four. Wants the switch had completely powered up I plug-in one cable
at a time and all of them powered up properly with gigabit ethernet links.
What I'm curious is. Number one why would the switch power cycle over and over
unless the initial build up of the LTE base stations is substantially more than
the power draw to run it on average normally? And if that's the case is there
a way that the switch can be configured so that the ports don't power on all at
the same time and I can set up a power on delay for each port so that they each
power on 5 to 10 seconds after each other. ?? Has anyone else experienced
this and what was your solution I can switch back to an AC powered unit to see
if that resolves the problem but it seems that there shouldn't be that much of
a voltage draw to affect the DC power unit. Now that all four radios have been
running for several hours straight it's only showing 100 what's of the draw on
a device that should be able to handle 250
