Fabian and Armando terminated and tested the fibers, installed fiber patch panels
at the tower enclosure and in the seatainer, and connected the fiber/copper media converters. The media converters (need model number) are temperature rated from are from Transition Networks, model E-100BTX-FX-05. I believe that they are the standard temperature models (not the "HT", versions), and so their temperature range is 0 to 50 degC. At the enclosure tower the converter is in the metal enclosure. Hopefully the converter's own heat and heat from the DC supply will keep it warm enough.

The adam had been working, even though it wasn't reachable over the wifi because of the problem with etherant C. The pocketec (#5) contained 12 days of data. Swapped in pocketec #3 and brought back #5 to Boulder.
...
Measured the power draw of the data system with 5 sonics, GPS, barometer, PC104 stack and pocketec disk (no etherant): 12.8 Volts, current: 1.4 to 1.61 A.
The fiber link was operational at 2:20 MDT. Left site shortly after. Late lunch at the BuckSnort in Sphinx Park.
