I am new here and new to Routerboard (and RouterOS!)
I am wondering - has anyone found a nice enclosure for a RB411 board (with clearance for a sierra MC8705 3G card) which allows for mounting onto a DIN rail?
The unit will be inside another sealed enclosure. All the other devices will be DIN-mountable, so it would be nice to mount the routerboard there too.
We will be installing quite a few, so it’s not really feasible to modify an existing enclosure. But not enough volume to justify fabricating a custom enclosure!
look on the made for mikrotik website http://www.mikrotik.com/mfm one of the suppleirs there should have something for your needs, or might be interested in making them for you, as they MFM and if there might be a need they might be willing to assist.
We simply used Mikrotik’s enclosures and bolted on a DIN clip sourced from RS Components (Part number 286-4244) - http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/din-rail-terminal-accessories/2864244/
Worked very well for us and if you are going to assemble the boards, you just need to drill ONE M6 size hole at the appropriate height/location in the enclosure and then screw it the DIN clip.
Ensure that the M6 bolt is short so as to not touch the DIN rail when mounted and also any electronics on the inside of the enclosure.
