Routerboard SXT Ethernet port and enclosure

This is a great little unit but i was wondering if anyone finds the proximity from the ethernet port to the latch cover a little frustrating ?

Just a bit of design feedback. It’s so tight that you cant use any prefabbed cables as they usually have rubber guarding of some sort on the pair so you have to crimp your own which is ok but even then there’s some tight angles happening. Even if the latch was located on the side or the ethernet port on the pcb was angled at 45 degree’s to the latch it would probably work much better.

Also are the units made from a UV resistant plastic? I have a few that are going to be deployed in country Australia.

I concur. Also always battling with getting those darn doors closed. At least, when it’s closed you can be sure that it would stay closed - touch wood… :laughing:
