One of our tech support guys asked me yesterday if we're going to start 
charging for access to Facebook, Netflix, etc. I was just like, dude, 
seriously? Yeah, cuz that will surely get us customers. He said, but now 
we can, so why wouldn't we? I said, but did we before NN? And then I 
realized he was just trying to annoy me. Same shit the media is doing. 
FUD dbag tactics. IT'S A TRAP!

Yeah, true, there were ways to legally do it before if you really 
wanted to. Bbut more to the point, nobody is going to do something 
like that anyway, because there's no way that it would be worth the 
customer backlash they'd have to deal with.


Nah, nobody is going to have the sense to feel silly about it... 
they'll just keep whining for awhile, and then forget about it. Or

Re: [AFMUG] Siklu Multihaul PTMP 60 ghz

2017-12-15 Thread Mathew Howard
It looks like they're using pretty tiny antennas on those (20.5dbi, if
their link budget calculator is accurate, and I'm reading it right), so
1000 feet is probably pretty accurate, or maybe even a bit optimistic...
they probably wouldn't even link at 1500 feet.

Ignitenets could do what you're talking about, and they'll be a whole lot
cheaper. 2100' might be a little questionable with a sector, but 1500 feet
is probably doable. You could also potentially just do a separate AP for
each one, which would definitely work, and should be pretty reliable at
those distances.

Have your guy splice on some LC pigtails. Or go to FS.com and get some 
mechanical LC connectors. As short as the run is, I would not be 
concerned with mechanical connectors. This is single mode, so you're 
going to have plenty optical budget.


That's my 2c anyway.

For power we've been running a pair of 16ga conductors up.  You can get 
16/2 + shield with a heavy outdoor jacket from multiple vendors.  
Superior Essex sells stuff that's intended for towers.  You can also 
find outdoor speaker wire which is cheaper and has similar specs.  If 
you're running new cables anyway, what's one more?


I've been using pre-terminated fiber up the tower.  Mostly because I 
don't want the tower guy to have to splice.  The tower guys don't 
usually have that in their skill set anyway, and if the cable or 
connector broke I'm just as happy to have them pull up a new 
pre-terminated cable as to try and splice up in the sky.  With the 
pre-terminated cable I had to special request a very short 
breakout.these days I might do the breakout myself.


So far, the radio products we've used didn't have enough length in the 
cable gland to accommodate the length of the LC connectors or the 
breakout.  So the solution has been to remove the cable gland and thread 
in a short (6" or so) length of conduit with a male threaded adapter on 
one end and a female threaded adapter on the other end.  Male adapter 
goes into radio where the cable gland was, original cable gland goes 
into the female adapter.  Then you have enough space for fiber 
connectors and a short breakout.  The only catch was some radios (Telrad 
for one) had metric threads on the cable gland, so we had to get a 
metric to NPT adapter in order to use locally available conduit parts.  
For cable lengths we were getting 100' and 200' and we have spares of 
each.  We end up with lots of slack, but I don't see that as a bad 
thing.

Well, you need to convey 105/48=2.187 amps.

24 gauge is 2.5 ohms per 100 feet.  If you used 4 wires for one 
polarity and 4 wires for the other polarity, you would have .625 ohms 
per polarity or 1.25 ohms per loop/100 ft.


So 1.25 * 1.2 = 1.5 ohms for the 120 foot loop.

1.5 * 2.187 = 3.28 volt drop.  And since you will really be running it 
of of 54 volts if a battery is involved, you have even less current and 
more voltage overhead.  If the equipment will run at 44 volts you are 
golden.  I think you are golden.


Yes, it is pretty sure to work.  If not, use all the conductors on one 
cable for one polarity and all the conductors of the other cable for 
the other polarity.

 Jaime,

 We have been using Platinum tools crimper for their ez-45 jacks. (last

 Not sure which Klein model you are looking at, I would not be surprised
 if the Klein is an oem by Platinum Tools.

 In regards to comments about moisture and shorting ... cannot say we
 have seen that as a functional/design defect of using ez-rj45 connectors.

 Most moisture & water intrusions are due to other issues..
 (p.s. there is a valid reason why Mimosa includes a small tube of
 'superlube' with their radios... it works surprising well in keeping the
 moisture out of the connector, we have started using it more 'religiously'
 )

Re: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

2017-12-15 Thread chuck
Well, you need to convey 105/48=2.187 amps.  

24 gauge is 2.5 ohms per 100 feet.  If you used 4 wires for one polarity and 4 
wires for the other polarity, you would have .625 ohms per polarity or 1.25 
ohms per loop/100 ft.

So 1.25 * 1.2 = 1.5 ohms for the 120 foot loop.

1.5 * 2.187 = 3.28 volt drop.  And since you will really be running it of of 54 
volts if a battery is involved, you have even less current and more voltage 
overhead.  If the equipment will run at 44 volts you are golden.  I think you 
are golden.  

Yes, it is pretty sure to work.  If not, use all the conductors on one cable 
for one polarity and all the conductors of the other cable for the other 
polarity.

Subject: [AFMUG] fiber/power on POPs

We are putting our first fiber to the radio, I have no clue the components. It 
appears this link will have 4 LC connectors on single fiber. 

Theres a conduit kit for the radio, looks like 2 to each radio in 2+0 if im 
understanding correctly. I figure we will need an enclosure at the top for 
these to enter to let the fiber pairs split out.

The two big questions are

Can I get this cable in pre terminated patch cords affordably and just cut the 
jacket back to get the pairs to the radios.

If its preterminated without running big pipe, conduit is kind of out so is 
just something copper clad similar to BBDGE recommended?

Neither of these are more than 120 feet

Our guy can splice at 70 bucks per, but im not sure how viable that is in the 
air (these are grain elevators though)

Both these radios have existing cat5 BBDGE, can I use that to run about 105 
watts @ 48volts split out to two radios at 120 feet?

Im pretty excited to not have ethernet negotiation issues or surges

Re: [AFMUG] OT: potcoin

2017-12-15 Thread Carl Peterson
Seems like a great idea but where does the money go?  It doesn't appear to
be fiat backed like tether is supposed to be.  Is it just a fiat
blockchain?  Speaking of which, whoever decided to call them "coins" was a
marketing genius.  Seems intuitive now but if you think about what it
really is, it is about as far from a coin as you can get.
