Description:
The PRL-MRK-1-2 rackmount kit supports mounting of up to 11 PRL modules or PRL connector panels, depending on size and power requirements, into one standard rack space.
The chassis front and rear panels have cutouts for mounting most MMIs with a 1.3” x 2.9” cross-section (PRL-970 series). To mount a module, remove the 4 screws from one endplate, place the MMI inside the rackmount kit, and then secure it to the panel with the endplate screws.
There are 4 cutouts on the front and 4 cutouts on the rear. The left-most cutouts (as seen from the front of the box) are occluded by the power supply and wiring, and are suitable only for certain connector pass-throughs.
There are also 3 grid patterns on the floor of the box for mounting PRL modules via the 35001420 mounting brackets.
The internal auto-switching power supply accepts 120 - 240 VAC, while the internal power distribution module provides 5 modular jacks (+ 9 VDC and - 9 VDC, 2.0 A each) to support all PRL modules except the PRL-470 series and PRL-177A series.
An illuminated power switch is provided at the front of the box, and a chassis grounding post is available at the rear.
The PRL-MRK-1-2 is supplied with a detachable 3-wire AC cable (IEC-C13 to NEMA 5-15P), and IEC-C13 cables for other countries are available as well.

Mounting positions on the front, rear, and mid panel support any PRL module with dimensions of 1.3W x 2.9H and any length.
Bottom panel grid positions for PRL 35001420 mounting brackets support PRL modules with dimensions of 1.3W x 2.9H and lengths of 2.90", 3.90", 6.10", and 8.10".
PRL modules of other sizes are not supported directly, although PRL mounting brackets can be used with any PRL modules if appropriate holes are drilled in the base plate.
