Introduction
The PRM2 Precision Panel Rack Mount is a rack-mounting
frame designed to be used to install any ELAN Precision
Panel into a standard 19" equipment rack. The PRM2
holds up to two full size precision panels, four 1/2 frame
precision panels using the PF2 Precision Panel Frame, or a
combination of one full size panel and two 1/2 size panels.
The PRM2 has a custom-designed hinged metal frame
which drops down 90 degrees for easy access to rear
panel punch-downs and connectors. Stainless-steel frame
support cables hold panels steady while punching down
wires.
