Wow Gino... With respect (because I respect people who can do this)... I try to stay out of Radio Shack when it comes to my business. I used to have to do this, but not anymore. I have people who would love to do this, but I tell them to stay out of that store too...when it comes to the company's wireless solutions.
I tend to use readily-available products, it's just my behavior. I have used a vented rack shelf before and some zip ties to get the PoE's to stay in place... It's a mess with the two-part PoE's where the power supply is not part of the PoE, but the UBNT PoE's that are all-in-one go zip-tie on nicer... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120333021316&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT On 3/3/2011 9:38 AM, Gino Villarini wrote: > With the Din Rail unit, some cat5 jacks a rack mount box, some diodes and > some time you can hack yourself the perfect box > > Gino A.
