Pylon UP5000 mount options

[Adeptus Mechanicus]

I have 2 of these waiting to be installed. I see that one can mount these on the wall or get brackets that allow you to stack them on top of each other.

The former option creates complication due to the length of the battery and comms cables (mounting 2 side by side is a little too far)

The latter option leaves them a little more exposed than I'd like.

Are there any decent cabinet options out there that aren't like R10k+ and might allow for a 3rd battery to be added?

I have mine in this,

Linkbasic 15U Swing Frame Wall Box

Linkbasic’s CAB-15U is a 15U Swing Frame wall box, manufactured from cool rolled steel and powder coated with a glass front door. The Swing frame assembly allows easy access to the back of the cabinet with a 90-degree rotation from right to left.

Does this fit 2 of the 5000's? Is the spacing between batteries decent?

This was my initial idea, but having to go for 2 of those racks side by side I'd have issues with length of the supplied parallel cables and comms cables.

You will get 4 in there with proper spacing.

Just thinking now, let me make sure on the fitting 4 batteries, I have 2 in along with the inverter.

Yeah I would imagine 4 would be a push considering the load limit quoted for the cabinet is 60kgs in total. Think the 5000's are 40kg each

True, I never thought of that.

Which trays did you pair with the box? CAB-T300 or CAB-T275?

The CAB-T275

The CAB-T275

Of course that would be the one not in stock, but I'm sure the other would do just fine too
