I've been told by some manufacturers that "it's impossible" because
the hardware needed to attach the end caps won't fit on a 1RU panel.
But I swear that I've seen examples over the years. I want to mount a
UPS in the case and the rack ears on the UPS were definitely an
afterthought; as in "Hey, lets throw in some rack ears and then all
them recording and video techs will want one." There is no way that I
would trust the heavy weight (think batteries, lots of batteries) of
the unit to the toy rack ears they included. But if I could find a
1RU case, then the rack ears would have little to do other than keep
the UPS from sliding out the front of the case. It would be supported
by the top and bottom panels of the case, not by the rack ears.
(and I dan't imagine that I'd want to locate a mic preamp right next
to a UPS in my travelling rig. The idea of a UPS in its own case just
makes sense to me.)
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
