I was intending on having the jacks pointing down. Work with gravity to avoid water getting in.

WB discards those and the blank panels, then adds a heavy duty DIN clip and moves the ground wire to a different hole. The way the PRM4 is built, there is a hollow space at the ends so you can safely thread screws in there. Also APC sells a wall mount bracket, good lucking finding in stock anywhere though. http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=PRMLB If you are mounting them with the jacks facing up, don’t do that. I did one job box with rack rails inside so everything faced up. Not only does rain (and grain dust) get into everything if you open the lid during a storm, any water that comes down inside the cables is directed into the jacks. I’ve fried two SyncInjectors that way. I need to rebuild that site with something like a MiniFort so the jacks face horizontal. I’ve never had trouble with water getting into jacks facing forward.

Must the chassis be mounted to the DIN rail via the back of the chassis or can the mount be relocated to the top\bottom? I assume it can't be moved, but I'd like to mount it so that the ports of the surge suppressors are pointing down. Should any water enter the cable, gravity would take it back out of the connector, down the side of the cable instead out the back of the connector, down onto the next surge suppressor below it. I could just put a DIN rail at the top of the box, but just wondering if I could just use the same rail I'm using for everything else. No, it's not green cable and there shouldn't be any wear points, so I'm not really sure how it's getting in. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com </blockquote> </blockquote>
