[AFMUG] Packetflux delivery times

2024-01-30 Thread Josh Luthman 
Has anyone ordered a Site Monitor this month?  I'm at 2 weeks of pending
order and haven't heard anything.

I didn't want to open a Tech support ticket, Forrest.  I don't mean to call
you out but I figured we're all friends here.

Yes, it’s a fairly common problem.  I have gone 2-4 weeks at times.  I do wish 
his website reported stock.  I usually just assume a few weeks anymore.

You'll probably have to ask for quotes to get good pricing from you local 
supplier, but Edgeoptic lists 100G 80km optics for $1550.

Jared, do you have another vendor for 100gb 80km optics other than 
fs.com[http://fs.com] and what does the price point look like?
 
I sent over the notes to the fiber provider yesterday, still waiting to hear 
back.

  Yes. Needs a muxponder or do a breakout at both ends to do it transparently. 
Just bonding the links is obviously also an option.

  My suggestion is that you immediately change suppliers at prices like that.

  FYI, I never got the original post to the list. Is the list somehow broken? 
It's been awfully quiet lately in either case.

Re: [AFMUG] compensation for employees

2024-01-30 Thread Cameron Crum 
Maybe bouses as a percentage of base base pay? That way the guys who have
been there longer or are better workers and have received raises for time
or performance get a little more. It also incentivizes people to be better
performers if they get a little more pay raise and realize that equates to
a better bonus if and when they happen.

Shipping out today.   Along with all the other base 3 orders.   We're
finally almost all caught up.   The base 3 was the last of the regularly
stocked items that we were backlogged on.

Pretty much all of the orders are going out today.   A couple that need spec

I think this is the start of being at least intermittently back to all the
normal stuff usually being in stock.

We used to do pretty good at almost always having stock, and if we ran out
of something the replenishment stock was only a few days from being on the
shelf.

Then 2020 happened, and then supply chain crap happened, and a thousand
other things seemed to conspire to prevent us from getting back to that
state.

The good news is that it looks like we're close to being back to just
having stock.   Right this second,  the inventory spreadsheet seems to
think we have,  on average, 15 days of stock.   That doesn't mean we
currently have 15 days worth of everything.   It's more like of 30 days of
one thing and almost nothing of something else.

I have every expectation we'll be up to 60 days pretty much across the
board in another couple months.

As far as the website not reporting stock, there's a whole set of stories
there which are more of an in person discussion.  Suffice it to say we wish
it did too.

[AFMUG] APC PDU and V-Lock

2024-01-30 Thread dmmoffett 
I'm guessing this group has collectively seen everything.  Equipment was
installed in leased cabinet space in a data center just about 18 months ago.
The data center has APC PDU's installed in the racks.  Visual aid: 



My colleague went there today because two servers were both intermittently
reporting loss of AC input on one power supply.  Both were in the same PDU
and both were loose.  He checked all the other cords while he was there and
found a few other loose ones.  He mentioned it to one of the data center
employees who said we should get "V-Lock" cords.  

I've never seen one of those IEC power connectors fall out by itself, so
it's bizarre that multiples did simultaneously.  I looked up V-Lock and it's
apparently a proprietary locking mechanism by Schurter.  Apparently V-Lock
receptacles have a cutout on the inside of the wider flat side of the
connector..the side which is usually up on a PC.  A V-Lock cord has a tab
that clicks into that cutout, and you have to press a button to release the
tab.  I don't have the APC model number, but the cluster of six C13
receptacles on the APC PDU does look exactly like this item from the
Schurter catalog: https://www.schurter.com/en/datasheet/4751.  So it
probably is a V-Lock.

So locking cords sounds great, but I've never needed one before.   Do the
locking receptacles have less holding power than the normal IEC ones? I'm
thinking maybe that cutout could let the plastic socket spread out more than
normal.
