Hi Mike,
Many thanks for the information, but as I understood it the question was
asked with regards to the Z38xx Telecom styled units and not those variants
such as the HP58503 series that were indeed built into HP desktop cases as
you describe.
The HP Z3801A etc and similar units from
I have a couple questions regarding the Z38xx type units. I have a Z3801A,
and a couple other modules that don't need a full 19 rack space. The Z38xx
units are 11 wide (10-9/16 mounting centers) , and obviously are not
suitable for a standard 19 rack cabinet.
Looking in the Z3801A manual, I

Looking in the Z3801A manual, I see that the rack trays that these units are
mounted in are 28.5 wide ...
I think lots of (most?) Telco gear uses 23 inch racks.

These are my opinions. I hate spam.
Something I've done for several projects is to seek help from these

A custom panel I did so I could rack-mount my Comcrap cable modem
(along with the rest of the network gear) ran about $75 or so.
What I would suggest
Yes many telco racks of old were 24 and as I recall nasa or someone had
28.
That said I did what Bruce suggest some 8-10 years ago. Al panel spray
painted to math the 3801 and cut a hole to fit the unit. Not having clever
tools lots of drill holes a hack saw and then cleanup with a file. Came out
Hi Dave
Many thanks for the MTI260 data, that's very useful and much appreciated.
As regards the the Z38xx modules, my Z3801As actually measure 10 9/16
between the front panel edges but obviously still too much to fit two like that
into a standard 19 inch rack.
I've considered two

I just measured a Z3801A case, can't speak for any others in the series,
and that measures 9 1/4 inches from one outside edge of the front panel to
the opposite side of the box itself.

The Nortel GPSR (aka HP z3801a) was mounted vertically in a chassis
which was itself rack mounted. It's 11 tall, not wide.
I should also add check your racks mileage may very a bit...

It's actually not a problem, as I mentioned before the boxes themselves are
only 8 inches wide and centered in the panel.
If you cut each panel down to 9 1/2 inches that would leave a separation
between the boxes themselves of 1/2 inch so overall width behind the panel
would be 16 1/2

Nigel,
These are standard HP 1/2 rack units. The rubber bezel around the
