part #2
Can I get input of this design? Not sure if there are any issues with this set up.
I like this better (Than post #25) for some reasons and not for others.
The break out board floats on top of the Cat 5 cables coming off the Ren48LSD
Pros:
1. No bending wires (4 conductor and cat5)
2. Neater/cleaner design
3. Easier to run wires
Cons:
1. The board floats on top of 48LSD
2. Need to remove all Cat 5 cables before you can access or see board
Please comment

I like the first one with the breakouts in the lid, but your the one with direct experience on this.

How sturdy is that ? I once tried a few different plastic containers/boxes and had zero for luck with them . They were too flimsy .

I've used fishing tackle boxes for 10 years and have had no problems they handle the heat/cold and most are uv resistant and pretty weather tight.
Also the handle makes them easy to carry .
You want to make sure you get the ones where the handle is attached to where water won't get in.

Here's where I mounted a switch and RPM bridge on the same side in an enclosure. More info here.

I used an old 16 port Lan Switch that failed after a lightening strike.

I like the one with the BoB on the lid... But since building it, opening and closing it a few times has revealed a lot of pulling on the R G B W wires out of the terminal blocks.
