Be sure to select switches with connectors that match your cables and equipment, the correct pinning, and the number of switch positions you need.
Remember that an ABC switch has just two positions, not three.) You can mix several types of switches in the same chassis.
Step 2:Choose standard of mini chassis.
Our Standard Rackmount Chassis fits a standard rack (4 RU). It holds up to eight switch modules, depending on switch size.
Our Mini Rackmount Chassis takes only 8.9 cm (2 RU) of vertical space. It generally holds either three ABC or two ABCDE switches.
Step 3:Specify connector punchouts.
If there's space left over in your Rackmount Switch Chassis, remember to plan for future expansion by specifying punchouts - extra holes for additional switches. If you want to add switches to the Rackmount Chassis at any time in the future, you'll need to specify the punchouts when you order.
