Re: Help wanted in terminology with 19" rack kit

Ah, I see, so one the other unit I have, there are two threaded bars
sticking out the back, between the 3 sets of 8 connectors.

I could mount something on these threads to tie wrap everything to.

No where near as tidy as my existing unit, but effective all the same.

Unless I have a magic pill identified by some kind soul up here, then
that is probably the solution I will go with.

Thanks.
