Though whoever built it doesn't know how to use Tyco MTA connectors correctly. br> br> |

This was my primary reason for abandoning the format. br> br> |

Oh yeah, I meant the cable plugs rather than the board sockets.. soldered rather than IDC insertion (and random usage of plug colours - different colours are meant to be for different wire gauges)
Yes, regular Frac depth is poopy - hence why I DIY'd down to 4" first and then onwards to 2.3". Those modules would fit into one of my frames! br> br> |

Keep in mind Blacet even suggests to mount the Frac racks into an even deeper SKB rack.
Quote: | All modules these days are designed to be placed in a sub mounting system that is 19" rack compatible. That means that you can place a mixture of module systems in a box such as those made by SKB. |

br>Yes, these skb racks are way too deep for even Blacet. Must be better alternatives these days. I'd consider just basic homemade wood boxes. br> br> |

I rack all my RAK-2's in these
There very shallow (12 3/8" rack depth) but still stackable and portable (if you don't fly to gigs) That's why I keep them 6U instead of one large rack case. br> br> |
