Both. However, when they're providing regen, you're not really getting dark fiber anymore, you're getting spectrum as a service. You don't get a 1 gigabit or 10 gigabit wave, you're getting 100 GHz, 112 GHz, 200 Ghz, etc. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Interne

I wouldn't use a home made battery in a production site.   _Every_ LFP battery I look at has a bms.   They are getting almost cheaper to buy with a bms than you can source new cells for without unless you go to the auction sites... On 5/7/24 11:36 AM, Bill Prince wrote: LFP batteries need a sp

they would work fine at that voltage, but not 100% charged which is a good thing. Regular power supplies cannot divert current like a DRS-480 for example, so if your system goes to 0% and dies, when AC power is restored the power supplies will need to charge the batteries and power your load at the

LFP batteries need a special charger unless they are equipped with a built-in BMS. Many, if not most 12V LFP batteries have a built-in BMS. bp On 5/7/2024 10:43 AM, Robert wrote: While I have used, read about, studied, and debated about LFP batteries, one thing I cannot find an answer to:

While I have used, read about, studied, and debated about LFP batteries, one thing I cannot find an answer to: Is there a problem with using a regular voltage supply set to 13.4 volts ( 90% ) charge to maintain a LFP battery for backup power use? Is there a need to buy a specialized battery

Purely for curiosity what if you want to lease a span that requires Regen? Do you negotiate to install your own amps? Or is it common for the DF provider to provide Regen? On Mon, May 6, 2024, 9:51 AM Dan P via AF wrote: > Not to mention Zayo has a way of adding on tons of random fees so that >

My first was a Commodore 128, which you almost always ran in C64 mode because most of the software was written for the C64 rather than break compatibility with the established user base. I was probably 7 years old. If anyone had a Commodore you may recall that the OS was a BASIC interpreter.
