I have started using small wall mount racks at many locations. Outdoor cabinets with racks at others. Mikrotik Switches mount in racks neatly. At one location I am working on cleaning up I have:
1 SAF Licensed link 6 Canopy FSK 2.4 AP's 1 Canopy FSK 900 AP 4 Canopy 450 3.6 AP's 5 Canopy PTP230's being upgraded too PTP450i's likely 1 Canopy 450i AP, more coming... Thats 18 ports and growing... I have several sites like this and all the DIN mount sync injectors and there power cords are quite a mess. I use the ~$100 DIN too rack adapter many places. DIN is really nice for very small sites in a small Hoffman enclosure. Seems like all sites run out of bandwidth and keep growing and I usually have to keep the old stuff going tell everyone is moved to the new. Another thing that would be nice on the sync injectors would be a daisy chain on the power connector. A power in and power out so it is easier to put in 5 sync injectors or so. We always initially put in a power supply that is larger then needed since we anticipate growth and its not that much more expensive. A DIN mount ~8 port Mikrotik would be nice too.
