Based on current plans, the rackmount version is going to be available in either 4, 8, 12 or 16 port versions or 6, 12 or 18 port versions, depending on whether I end up with 4 or 6 ports per 'chunk'.....all of these will be upwardly expandable.
So I think that handles pretty much anyone who wants a rackmounted unit. Hopefully this will make everyone who wants one happy. On the 'smaller units', I of course have the 4 today. Mechanically 12 ports fit into the same space as two of the 4 port units, since I only need one set of input and output jacks for the injector, so that's why I'm thinking that way. I could go to 8 instead, but that opens up a whole can of worms (as an example, just shrinking the case triggers the potential need for a different din rail mounting kit). It sounds like 4 is too few and 12 is fine, although 8 would probably work for many, if not most sites. Is that fair?
