# 3U component carrier module for 6 keystone connectors
|
|
|
|
This is a mechanical design to mount 6 keystone connectors in a 3U
|
|
component carrier.
|
|
|
|
Why would one want to do that? You can get keystone modules
|
|
inexpensively for virtually any [small] connector, like RJ45, RJ12, BNC,
|
|
SMA, LC, USB-A, USB-B, ...
|
|
|
|
You can configure a keystone panel dynamically and quickly for the given
|
|
use case of connector combinations. No need to do a custom face plate
|
|
each time, so it's particularly useful in setups you're building once,
|
|
where the design cost, machine setup cost and production delay of a
|
|
custom face plate are prohibitive.
|
|
|
|
The module consists of two panels:
|
|
|
|
* the face plate to which the keystone modules are flush
|
|
* the back plate into which you snap the keystone modules
|
|
|
|
## face plate
|
|
|
|
6 TE wide face plate
|
|
|
|
* 128.4 x 30.22 mm
|
|
* 14 openings
|
|
* 907 mm total path
|
|
* 2mm (2.5mm) material, typically AlMg3
|
|
|
|
|
|
## back plate
|
|
|
|
* 110 x 29 mm
|
|
* 12 openings
|
|
* 763 mm total path
|
|
* 1mm material, typically steel
|
|
|
|
|
|
## BOM
|
|
|
|
* 1x face plate (above)
|
|
* 1x back plate (above)
|
|
* 6x 4mm hexagon spacers with 2mm thread
|
|
* 6x M2 countersunk screws (from front side)
|
|
* 6x M2 screws (from back side)
|
|
* 2x Fischer KN 1
|
|
* 2x Fischer HS 1 or RS 1 M2,5x11
