I test it with eight mixed high power card ( R5H,R52Hn,XR2 ) and it work fine. Power consumption ~40W over Jack and ~55W over POE

what would the right power supply be
thanks

also, would you recommend the rb600 or the rb800?

thanks

RB800 is more powerful. Use 48v-1.6a with Jack or POE

Just wondering. How do you solve self interference problems. 8 cards on one board
with 8 pigtails in one housing (with 11n even more)… I would expect complete unpredictable results.
So does it make sense?

No, I just testing power, how powerful is it how many power it take. Does it reboot at max. TX load or not. In real situation it’s posible some RF interference depend on what case and what pigtails you use.
