Hey all

 

A really looooong shot but has anyone designed a 3D print for a 19" rack mount for a Chorus ONT 300? Something similar to this?

 

 

 

 

Cheers Oliver

Chorus are pretty picky about attaching the fibre leadin to something solid, be it a wall or a comms cupboard, 

 

How would you go about convincing them to leave you a pretty long cable to then terminate into the back of the rack....

Last time I had Chorus install an ONT in a rack they just left it floating around. Didn't even leave the wall mount bracket with it

I got lucky with my installer, they screwed it to the wall at the back of the rack. its a swing out job so the rackmount wouldnt work considering the other comment about them being picky. Just a short patch cable to the switch though.

I’ve had this with two separate fibre installers. They had the pleasure of going back and mounting it to the wall behind the cabinet. Cabinets can move. Fibre should not.
