Hmm...Is the Baicells thing 24v or 48v? I think at 48v it took an
excessive amount of cable or excessive current to have a problem.

Have you worked out the current needed and the voltage drop created by
the cable? It might be that the voltage drop is so much that you are
in that switch mode regulator fold over region that I pontificated upon
with all the math formulas a while back.

Subject: [AFMUG] Mikrotik Powerbox Short Circuit Message
I've got a powerbox causing me grief. It works fine powering a Baicells
CPE on the bench, but when I put it in place with 80' of cable between
it and the power supply I get a short circuit message when trying to
power up the Baicells. I've tried a new jumper between the powerbox and
the Baicells, new ends on the main run going to the powerbox, and a
different power supply - all to no avail. Am I really past the distance
limit? If so, WTF Mikrotik?
