We've got some Cambium PTP820S radios going up shortly. We will be running fiber to the radios, so we're debating on POE vs. DC up the tower for powering them. We have been told by the tower owner that we need to adhere to R56 for lightning protection. Our initial thought was that we woul

Do you already have the fiber? If not, you should consider a hybrid cable that has a few strands of fiber and 2-conductor 12/14AWG for powering the radios? Best-Tronics is a good vendor for this cable. On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 4:11 PM, Craig Baird wrote: > We've got some Cambium PTP820S radios g

No, I don't have the fiber yet. That's a great suggestion. Thanks! Craig Quoting Josh Baird : Do you already have the fiber? If not, you should consider a hybrid cable that has a few strands of fiber and 2-conductor 12/14AWG for powering the radios? Best-Tronics is a good vendor for this

I would second the hybrid fiber. Worked great for us and Best-Tronics is great. A little longer lead time but good to work with. For about the same as good CAT5 outdoor they will make you a 4 fiber and 2 conductor cable. We had a lot less issues using DC surge arrestors than POE. On Tue, Dec 1, 20
