What rack ears for Ultralite?

Post by cacibi »

I can't seem to figure out what sort of rack accessories (ears) I need to mount my Ultralite into a single rack space by itself, or where to buy them. Any info apprecated, thanks.

Yours came with the ears, right? So you just need a plate? Mine came with the ears, so...

There are half-rack blank plates, but it may be cheaper to buy some aluminum or steel plate and cut/drill them yourself. Google "half rack gear plate" (and maybe add "broadcasting" to that list)

Or, even, get a 19" rack blank plate and cut it shorter and drill it yourself. They are way easier to find in 19" versions, and probably cheaper than hald rack premade blanks (just a guess, I could be wrong).

Or, there are universal rack shelves that are basically trays with lots of holes to accomodate various gear, but they are kinda pricey.
