When you power a multiport repeater/link controller that’s operating multiple repeaters, which repeater power supply powers your controller? If there’s only one repeater supplying power, what happens to the controller when that power supply fails? Yup. You lost power to the controller that’s controlling all of your repeaters.
That’s what happened at one of my sites. My solution was to build a Redundant Power Module that accepts power in from multiple power supplies and powers not only my repeater controller but also other site management and power hardware. At my sites, the other hardware is a network router/switch and remote power controller.
