Yep, we use those for POEs held down with zip ties.

The great thing about those ventilated shallow rack shelves is that you can 
aggressively ziptie stuff down onto them, to keep it in place even when cables 
are pushed/pulled/wiggled, connected and disconnected.

I can tell you if you had a 1U or 2U blank that we could pull the guts from our 
existing 4 port syncinjectors, and a single blank for the guts of a sitemnitor, 
and sold the existing 4 port injectors with a spare sticker, id be pig in shit 
happy.

If you had that, Id still pay the current cost of the syncinjectors, and you 
could keep the housings

Well, it looks like it might actually be finally happening. 

 

We are about 98% sure we have a rackmount enclosure manufacturer which we can 
work with. Domestic.  Product looks decent.  Price is right.

 

Which means it's time to nail down a few details here, such as number of ports, 
so I can get some enclosures cut and boards made and hopefully get this 
elephant out of the room....  

 

 So I need some input:

 

The rough figures I'm working with here is $800 for a 18 port rackmount power 
injector.  Voltage and pinning jumper selectable per port. Per-port control of 
power and sync.  Probably some redundant power and other things built in, but 
I'm still nailing those details down (a lot of it comes down to space on the 
front panel of the enclosure).

 

PLEASE NOTE:  The prices here are soft - until I get the design completed I 
won't know what I can sell this for - as many of  you know I try to price 
things at a fair price as opposed to what the market will bear.

 

The main questions I have for the list are:

 

Is 18 the correct number of ports?   18 is looking like about the most I can 
fit based on front panel dimensions.  This corresponds to 3 blocks of 6 ports 
(if you lose a port and need to replace it, you'd replace 6 at a time).   

 

Other options are 16 (4 blocks of 4), and pretty much any smaller quantities of 
ports which are divisible by 4 or 6.   

 

I guess what I'm really asking here is whether the 18 port version for $800 is 
the only version of this I should make or carry, or does it make sense to sell 
(as an example) an 8 port version for $400 instead of or in addition to this?
