PXESTRAY for Rack Mounting of PXES6P Series Switches
For 19” rack mounting
of PXES6P Series Switches, a
rack-mount tray is available, the
PXESTRAY. The Switches are
mounted with the DC power jack in
the back, with the fiber and the RJ-
45 connectors in the front. Any
mix of the Switches and/or Media
Edges may be placed on a tray, up
to a maximum of 8 units.

In a typical
installation, the PXESTRAY, 19” rack-mount tray will hold three to eight PXES6P
Series Switches, with their power supplies plugged into power strips (not included) in the rear
area of the tray. Metal mounting screws in the bottom-front hold the Switches firmly in place.
The beveled-top of the units permits the LEDs of each unit to be viewed for operational status,
even when the units are very close together.
3.3
DIN rail mounting option
The PXES6P Switches, designed for use in Industrial Ethernet environments, are available
for DIN rail mounting.
A PXES6P is shown alongside the PXESDINRL bracket here ->
The metal DIN rail mounting
hardware is optional and needs to be
ordered as a separate item, e.g.
31
Model PXESDINRL. It comes with four screws to attach the bracket to the unit. The rail clip is
spring-loaded with a pull-up latch at the top for easy “snap-on” attachment and removal.
