Can a 260GSP power a BaseBox 2?

Wed Apr 16, 2014 5:38 pm

I am going with no, but wanted confirmation. The BaseBox 2 is listed at 14W at 24V or around 580mA. The 260GSP is rated for 500mA per port, which wouldn't be enough for the BaseBox 2. Right?

I just tested basebox2 with R11e-2HPnD + LTE modem, everything connected to 260GSP and max traffic running trough. i got 450mA .
but as far as i know 260GSP should have 1A on one port
Yes over 1A it just shuts down till then works fine

Interesting... per http://routerboard.com/RB260GSP it is rated for 500mA per port.

I think the better question should be how many BASEBOX 2 or 5 can it actually power up.
I want to use 4 ports to power up 2 BB2 and 2 BB5 .. Will it suffice???

it's probably some typo error about 500mA
i think all 4 BB should run perfectly , are you going to use mpci-e cards in BB ?

electrically it is the same as RB750UP, so limits are the same. 1A per port and 2.2A total.

documentation will be adjusted accordingly.

I do not know that much about Amperes as I have seen the RB750UP fail in powering up a 433AH with 1-R52, a AIRGRID M5 and an SXTG. Sometimes rebooting the 750UP gets them all up but then the next minute they will start failing one by one. Upgraded firmware & OS and everything possible.
So a very crude question... does the RB260GSP Power up 2-BB2 & 2-BB5? I do not intend putting up any further mini pci-e cards in them.

yes, it is possible. RB260GSP uses same passive poe configuration as 100Mbit ones do.

Please make sure you use the newest RouterOS versions as newer versions have newer POE firmware version.

I have had issues with 260GSP powering. At a site it is good enough powering a 433AH and 2 SXT.
At another site where the cable is almost 40 mtrs and we are powering just an SXT and a 411AR we have the SXT showing as working. But the 411AR gets stuck after a power boot. It does not show up.
After several power boot it gets working. We have enabled long cable on ether1.
