FYI. Maybe unrelated but I had an issue with sync on a 450i. Mikrotik CRS --> Gigabit SyncInjector --> GIGE-APC-HV -- 260 foot shielded cat-5 --> 450i.
Would loose sync briefly dozen times a day or so. Increased voltage from 48 to 52 volts. Issue went away, so far. No sync loss in bit over week anyway. Identical setup with 210 foot of cable works fine with 48 volts. These are only two I have deployed but more on way.
