Is toughswitch poe pro renamed to edge edgemax es-8xp?

The ToughSwitch PoE Pro was indeed rebranded as the EdgeMax ES-8XP. Ubiquiti Networks decided to align their product lines and naming conventions under the EdgeMax brand, which led to the renaming of the ToughSwitch PoE Pro to EdgeMax ES-8XP. The hardware and functionality remained the same, but the name was changed for consistency across their product offerings.


What kind of nut do I need to fit a camera tripod screw?

To attach a camera to a tripod, you typically need a nut with a 1/4-inch-20 thread, the standard size for most camera tripod mounts. This size means the nut has a 1/4-inch diameter and 20 threads per inch. Some larger cameras and equipment may use a 3/8-inch-16 thread, but this is less common for standard cameras. Make sure to check your specific camera’s requirements to ensure compatibility.

You can use the conversion factor where 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters to convert the inch values to centimeters. Here are the conversions:

  • 1/4 inch = 0.25×2.540.25 \times 2.540.25×2.54 = 0.635 cm
  • 3/8 inch = 0.375×2.540.375 \times 2.540.375×2.54 = 0.9525 cm

Do SFP transceivers have a MAC address or does the address belongs to the SFP port?

SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceivers do not have a MAC address. The MAC address is assigned to the network interface controller (NIC) or network adapter, which is the hardware component responsible for connecting a device to a network.

The SFP transceiver is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into a port on a network switch, router, or other networking devices and allows the device to transmit and receive data over fiber optic or copper cables. The SFP port to which the SFP transceiver is connected is typically assigned a unique MAC address by the device manufacturer.

Therefore, the MAC address belongs to the device’s network interface using the SFP port, not the SFP transceiver itself.


DJI care – No activation code

We purchased a DJI Mini 3 Pro and powered it on.

After that, we purchased a DJI Care Refresh (2-Year Plan).

In the DJI controller, there was a warning that we needed to activate the service plan within 48 hours. Clicking on that option would require an activation code.

DJI did not send us an activation code with the purchase of the service plan.

We used https://service.dji.com/djicare/coverage to verify that our purchase was valid, but no information on the activation code was available.

From the controller, we want to the profile settings and unbound the drone. After we bound it again, the Replacement Service was marked as valid.
