When I say "found out the hard way" I should clarify that was through no
fault of packetflux. The description of the PDU clearly states that it
has a negative ground, it was a failure on my part to internalize that
information.

Careful. Packetflux PDU can't do positive ground. So no -48. Found
that out the hard way.
If neither the load or the power supply has a ground on the positive
wire then you're good to go.
When I connected 3 Telrad Compacts (positive ground) nothing exploded,
but you couldn't actually switch any of them off. If I turned off one
port, the load moved to one of the other ports.

PacketFlux (PDU) would be able to power cycle DC powered radios. This
is likely what we'll be doing for Baicells eNB's.

I have been looking at ICT. The ICT600-48SBC Power Supply and the
ICT200DF-12IRC distribution panel. This with a Netonix would do
everything. We have sites with Telrad so the distribution panel will
allow them to be power cycled when necessary.
Anyone using ICT? Bit pricy though, looking at $1,600 plus…
Need a solution where we can power cycle DC powered radios.

It's a little spendy but about how about 1 $670 option? Alpha Cordex
PSU 24V 400W.
Remote monitoring, e-mailed alerts, swappable rectifier, DIN mount,
etc.
Add a Netonix switch and you can power just about anything.

Id love you to do it out of the kindness of your heart, but i do

Im just tired of the apc ups waste and super ghetto runtimes on
