How to power a SAF Lunima radio

[LRL]

Since it's not entirely clear.

It is my understanding that an SAF Lumina can be power using the WS using a 48VH port and the SAF power splitter, is that correct?

I think so, or you can take POE from the 48vh on the SW direct to the DC input of the Lumina an run another cat5 or fiber for data

I have plugged one of these into a switch and can confirm that it appears to function as the opposite of an injector. It separates the data from the power if you plug it in backwards. I haven't tried actually powering a Lunima yet. I don't have any extra just sitting around.

I just try and a Lumina with a PoE splitter (CFIP-TPS / PN: I0ATPS01) and it work fine. The pineout is the same. On the spliter, I used the blue wire as positive and brown as negative.

you used a 48VH capable port right?

Wish you would have taken pictures!

[mike99]

48VH, right. From spec, Lumina need 50W. I have a picture of the SAF with the spliter but we don't see the Netonix on it.

Edit: Tryed to make a link to the picture on my G+ but it don't work.

Hi MIke99,
Can you describe your Lumina setup in a little more detail? I'm working on a Lumina install and I'd like to use a Netonix switch to power if possible. Are you running fiber up the tower, or Ethernet?

Resurfacing an old thread I know, but....the SAF Lumina radios come with a splitter box that will split the DC and the Ethernet being fed over a PoE cable to the radio. So you feed power on the Ethernet, and when it gets to the radio head it hits the splitter box which splits to DC wires and Ethernet going into the radio.

That being said, The SAF radios all say they are -48 volts.... how certain are we they will work properly on a +48VH PoE feed? Specifically the Lumina radio.

We have them working great, SAF Luminas are floating ground so no issues

[expohl]

So I really really would like to power a few SAF luminas via my WS12DC but I can't just blindly take someones advice that it worked when the specs clearly indicate it won't, I'm not rich enough to take a 5K chance like that!

Can anyone clarify?
