Could do that. Certainly worth considering. The GigE making the trip up to the daughter board and back may have some impedance/return loss considerations.

So you would plug the fuse board into the SS board and then plug the assembly into the slot in the APC chassis?

I am looking at what it would take to add fusing to the surge protector. Not a lot of room there. I would probably have to mount the components on the back side and do a double pass through SMT placement and reflow. It might have enough clearance for the jacks on one board to not scrape off the fuses on the next board. I'd prefer not having soldered on fuses for the surge suppressor because that's a more expensive part to replace. Better to replace a cheap add-on board or inline, especially if you make a stupid mistake that blows it. ~Seth -- Carl Peterson PORT NETWORKS 401 E Pratt St, Ste 2553 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 637-3707
