HR has a separate filing cabinet for him.

Might be a small warehouse

Think they’re moving to digital storage with an inital implementation measured in petabytes…

Get extension cables with clamp mounts. You can clamp the, around the perimeter of the rack

It's W.O.P.R - would you like to play a game Dr. Falken?

How about a nice game of chess?

A few of these on mounted on the outside top of the rack with antenna extensions

Here is the other type of rack. Old school wired zones with a mix of old (Yamaha mx-1000 recapped 80s vintage amp with newer 2nd amp and yamaha flagship preamp with zone selection via wifi/app) Anyone else running a similar setup?

Is there a particular name for those brackets? I might want those but can't find them

FriedCheese2006 · December 4, 2022, 3:10am

A Google search of "antenna L bracket" seems to get good results.

My humble submission is still a work in progress, but an improvement over having various devices scattered across a table.

This weekend, I relocated power and coax to allow everything to have a fixed (if not proper) home.

Arlington TVBU507 recessed outlet wall plate kit
Eaton TR7765W outlet with dual USB (HE plugged in directly)
Cabinet cutouts - access to wall plate and pass cables between sides
3 x 3/4 "Smurf tube" conduit to the attic for future runs of network cable.
Unifi Cloud Key for cameras - currently only pulling data from Wi-Fi cameras.
Network switch (POE) - not yet connected, just stuffed in there

There is still plenty of work to be done, but the room can now be used for holiday guests. Separating HE power means that it will be unaffected when my wife's laptop drops off Wi-Fi and she flips the outlet strip switch to reset it..
