That can't possibly be true because the data pairs are 12/56 for 100 meg. Swapping the power pins wouldn't have any effect on it. There's more to that situation. Were you using a crossover cable? That's not the same thing. Josh Luthman 24/7 Help Desk: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100

That doesn't make any sense... is that using 100Mbps or gigabit ethernet? If it's 100M, those pairs shouldn't make a difference one way or the other, but I would think Gigabit would be less likely to work with them swapped (in my experience gigabit will work either way though). I just plugged a

That is actually not true. The radio powers up, but won't pass ethernet until the pairs are switched. We bench tested quite a few different PSU's and all gave us the same result yesterday. Once I flipped blues and brown around, it worked like a charm. On Mon, Apr 19, 2021 at 5:59 AM Caleb Knauer

FYI 450b is power polarity agnostic, so you don't need to swap pairs. On Sun, Apr 18, 2021 at 9:13 PM Sam Lambie wrote: > > Hey all, > > I am running into some issues with a 450b PTP setup. The Slave is running at > 200' of cable and the radio powers up, but doesn't transmit. I got it to talk

I can't shorten the cable, but I can increase the wire size to 23 awg Cat6 and increase the amperage available to 1 amp. On Sun, Apr 18, 2021 at 8:28 PM TJ Trout wrote: > This is something that can be easily calculated; > > 450b 10w @ 24v > > Cable 24awg @ 200ft > > Voltage drop: 2.14 >

This is something that can be easily calculated; 450b 10w @ 24v Cable 24awg @ 200ft Voltage drop: 2.14 Voltage drop percentage: 8.90% Voltage at the end: 21.86 Input Voltage 20 - 32 V DC Probably need to shorten the cable or increase the wire size or increase the supply voltage.. On Sun, Apr

Hey all, I am running into some issues with a 450b PTP setup. The Slave is running at 200' of cable and the radio powers up, but doesn't transmit. I got it to talk to the BHM (450b) and toned in the signal at -58 on both ends for a couple of days at one point then it fizzled out. Swapped channel
