Hi All!

I recently bought a DYNAMIX 20" Network Enclosure and I'm having troubles mounting a PowerPoint on it. I have already knocked out the metal thingy, but when I try to secure the powerpoint, the holes on the enclosure just don't match with the holes on the powerpoint.

Any advice from those who have already done it? Do I need to buy a special mounting bracket for it?

Cheers,
Lionel

I don't think it actually has holes to line up with a powerpoint, you just screw through it into the enclosure/frame behind it.

I guess I could put some framing around it, since it is meant to be installed in between studs I don't have any nogging close to it.

It is weird though because it has quite few holes there like they were meant to be the mounting points for a power point.

They are set up to use a mounting plate screwed to the 4 holes around the knock out and the power point screws to the mounting plate.

Something like this - https://www.pdl.co.nz/products/electrical-accessories/pdl-accessories/universal-mounting-block-shallow-18mm-white-pdl89sp?itemno=PDL89SP

From memory we used a C clip on them to hold it in place. It did put the exposed AC terminals into the same stud bay as the data wires but sparky seemed ok with that despite my reservations. Also meant that I had to gib up the back of that wall immediately to keep them happy.
