Re: [Ubnt_users] Airfiber 5x power consumption

2017-01-12 Thread Ing. Raul Rodriguez 
Running AF5X in a solar powered site, 6W,  make sure you have a Gig POE because 
it used 2 pairs for power 4,5,7,8 for long cable runs

Power consumption

 

Wall is 123vac. Amp meter says 0.07a. 8.61 watts. This is the factory POE.

POE spits out 24vdc. Amp meter said 0.23a. 5.52 watts.

I waited ~10 minutes after it booted to look. They were definitely associated. 
It's running 33dBm EIRP @ 5240.

 

6 watt radio I would *NOT* call power hungry at all.

 

They were 24v radios on the first shipment, there's a specific MAC address 
range (very small).  These days they're 24-48 volts.  It's to the point where 
Netonix is removing 24vh (power on 4 pairs) because AF5x was the only radio 
that uses it and it isn't necessary but for a small number of existing units.

 

I think the cut off is 20v?

IMO you should be replacing the backhaul with licensed before chewing up
more 5 GHz spectrum.  Use the 5 GHz to your customers.

Yup. My AF24 is pulling right around 50 watts. Of course, that's two
radios. Even my AF5s are pulling about 40 watts.

Power consumption



Wall is 123vac. Amp meter says 0.07a. 8.61 watts. This is the factory POE.

POE spits out 24vdc. Amp meter said 0.23a. 5.52 watts.

I waited ~10 minutes after it booted to look. They were definitely
associated. It's running 33dBm EIRP @ 5240.



6 watt radio I would *NOT* call power hungry at all.



They were 24v radios on the first shipment, there's a specific MAC address
range (very small).  These days they're 24-48 volts.  It's to the point
where Netonix is removing 24vh (power on 4 pairs) because AF5x was the only
radio that uses it and it isn't necessary but for a small number of
existing units.



I think the cut off is 20v?

Power consumption

Wall is 123vac. Amp meter says 0.07a. 8.61 watts. This is the factory POE.
POE spits out 24vdc. Amp meter said 0.23a. 5.52 watts.
I waited ~10 minutes after it booted to look. They were definitely associated. 
It's running 33dBm EIRP @ 5240.

6 watt radio I would *NOT* call power hungry at all.

They were 24v radios on the first shipment, there's a specific MAC address

Netonix is removing 24vh (power on 4 pairs) because AF5x was the only radio

Re: [Ubnt_users] Airfiber 5x power consumption

2017-01-05 Thread Mathew Howard 
We had an extended power outage a couple months ago on a tower with two AF-5x 
radios, and the batteries got drained down to nothing. I don't remember exactly 
what the voltage got down to before we lost contact to the tower, but I know it 
was well below 20v - something like 16-17, if I remember right.

Oh, that is bloody fantastic.  Thanks for the responses guys.  I'd love to hear 
from Ubnt guys about the low end power and whether they can they safely hit 20v 
in a worst case scenario.  We really try our best to avoid ever going under 24v 
but it's nice to have wiggle room for days when everything goes stupid.  And 
much, much love for the wide range of input voltage because I can totally see 
ourselves eventually moving to 48v if we ever did this again.

Power consumption

Wall is 123vac. Amp meter says 0.07a. 8.61 watts. This is the factory POE.
POE spits out 24vdc. Amp meter said 0.23a. 5.52 watts.
I waited ~10 minutes after it booted to look. They were definitely associated. 
It's running 33dBm EIRP @ 5240.

6 watt radio I would *NOT* call power hungry at all.

They were 24v radios on the first shipment, there's a specific MAC address 
range (very small).  These days they're 24-48 volts.  It's to the point where 
Netonix is removing 24vh (power on 4 pairs) because AF5x was the only radio 
that uses it and it isn't necessary but for a small number of existing units.

I think the cut off is 20v?
