    Solution needed: PoE uninterruptible power supply

    There isn't a switch pushing most of these units, but the ones that do will have UPS. putting a UPS on the PoE is a difficult issues because the customer has direct access to it and more often than not we'll probably see the customer disconnect the UPS to hook their toaster up to it or...

    Solution needed: PoE uninterruptible power supply

    We have rooftop radio units that are fed via PoE. I'm curious if anyone has come across a simple PoE UPS? I'm basically looking for something very simple. Two RJ45's, one in and one out, that takes power from the PoE feed and stores it in a battery or capacitor (ultracapacitor) for use incase...

    Product need: External PCI Express breakout box

    Copper is certainly an option if someone built the device to do it. 300ft 1gbit or 10gbit would certainly be useful to this project. Since I didn't find any options today, we've decided to go with disparet systems for now.. Meaning, gbit ethernet connected systems that run their own independant...

    Single processor Athlon 64 linux router theoretical throughput limit?

    hah.. that is FIVE 1 gbit cards.. :) Although those nifty 10gbit cards are going to come down in price someday ;-) In reply to the other posts, I guess it's more processor and overall bus limitations I am trying to figure out.. With the various linux based router software products out there...

    Single processor Athlon 64 linux router theoretical throughput limit?

    I have a question about total system throughput on a general PC running linux. Say I have a 2ghz athlon 64 based single processor system with plenty of ram and loaded with 32-bit linux and any linux based routing software. I have 5 gbit ethernet cards in the server each one going to a...

    Product need: External PCI Express breakout box

    Hi Peter, thanks for the reply.. What a coincidence that you read my post and your from SBS. First I sent an email off the address from SBS' website. Got no reply, so a month later I sent another. Still no reply so I sent a third and gave up. I'm certain my email was working fine at the time so...

    Product need: External PCI Express breakout box

    Hello, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm looking for a product that will allow me to remotely locate a number of PCI Express card slots at least 300ft away from a host PC. I've spoken with a few manufacturers and asked them to build the unit but they don't feel there would be...
