        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?
