@th I'm going through the same :) Those are some nice network cables! Which brand are they?
@rmsilva "MonoPrice SlimRun Cat6A patch cables" and they are amazing. The 30awg twisted pairs are so slender that they feel like fiber compared to normal UTP.
@s0 @th @rmsilva I’m plugging into a PoE calculator (using ≃100 Ω/100 ft from the datasheet) and if it is to be believed, you’d start to fall outside the 802.3af allowed specs (voltage drop, power at remote end) at cable runs > 35 m. This is much longer than I expected.
(Don’t get me wrong, it’s massively inefficient and you are losing hundreds of milliwatts in heat. But at least it won’t catch fire.)
@s0 @futzle @rmsilva hackers at RevSpace in Den Haag figured out how to flash the IAP-105 firmware on the AP-105 hardware, which allows the cheaper models to be used in an virtual cluster with fast roaming, without a controller. https://revspace.nl/Aruba-105
@th @futzle @rmsilva those are neat cheap little APs. What firmware do they run?
