Netonix Forums

Hello,
Anyone has tried or knows if they can power a Ceragon IP20c radio with a Netonix Switch ? (48v 1.5amp port) ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

To clarify he means 48VH 1.2A/1.5A (depending on model/Rev)

Time to camp as I may be deploying one aswell :)

Looking at Cambium 820c spec sheet, seem like it would work except for 7 Ghz radios in 2+0 operation. Ethernet pineout information is missing.

Power Input Specifications
• Standard Input: -48 VDC
• IDU DC Input range: -40 to -60 VDC
Power Consumption Specifications
• Maximum Power Consumption (2+0
Operation) 6 GHz: 65W; 7 GHz: 75W; 11
GHz: 65W; 13-15 GHz: 55W; 18-24 GHz:
48W; 26-38 GHz: 55W
PoE Injector Mechanical Specifications
• Dimensions – 134mm(H), 190mm(W),
62mm(D), 1 kg
PoE Injector Environmental Specifications
• 33°C to +55°C (-45°C to +60°C extended)
PoE Injector Power Input Specifications
• Standard Input: -48 or +24 VDC (Optional)
• DC Input range: ±(18/40.5 to 60) VDC
(+18VDC extended range is supported as
part of the nominal +24VDC support)
PoE Injector Interfaces
• GbE Data Port supporting
10/100/1000Base-T
• Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) Port
• DC Power Port –40V to -60V (a PoE
supporting two redundant DC feeds

Yeah, the same issue with the Ceragon manuals, key info is missing..

Their POE injector is rated to accept +/- 18v to 60v DC. so that is not an issue .. simple enough.
However the Radio (ODU) Is listed as only accepting -48v DC.

My question, if I someone knows... what is the difference (if any) between -48v DC vs 48v DC ? (I do understand that there is a + and - polarity in DC... ).

Maybe that the good answer.

Was anyone successful?

Posting into here in the hopes someone finds the appropriate information for this.

Did anybody figure this out?? Faisal--what did you end up powering with?

I'm curious on this as well?

We're currently looking at the PTP820c and IP20c in 11Ghz and 18Ghz. I was told by a Ceragon person that there are a few compatible POE switches, and they thought there were some Juniper ones that worked. I was told yesterday by a Cambium person that "No. It is proprietary POE" to which I laughed internally.
