Hardware Decission –
-
Looking at Options was surprised that the NetGate SG-4860-1U was EOS already. That last one I purchased was in July and I think it was a great little unit.
So now I have an issue I need a 1RU mountable unit, but I really only need the function in the SG-3100 verses the XG-7100.
At almost $700 dollars difference I was wondering if anyone in the community can answer two questions to help with my decision –
Short of a shelf has anyone found a way to mount the SG-3100 in a rack ?
Given the need for a 4G link (dongle) is there any advantage to one box over the other --
TIA ---
PS: This is the rack and why mountable is better than a shelf --

Just wanted to close this out –
No option for the 3100 was found and the 7100 priced the solution out of the prospects ball park.

Did you ask Netgate if they still have one laying around somewhere?
PS: Since when does Pelican offer 19" capable cases? SKB was the company with 19" plastic cases primarily.
9RU with electronics is something I would do with a floating rack-in-rack usually. -
Unfortunately we're completely out of SG-4860-1U's (not counting the RMA stock). We will be introducing a couple of new units soon which might be interesting to you.
