AVR-Chat

Chaps,
 
Am doing a project for an serial to ethernet interface and am looking for a ready made case that has a db9 serial opening at one end and a rj45 opening at the other, does anyone know of who would make one or any possibilities that may fit the bill, i know i culd get an enclosure and do the relevant cut outs but wondered if there was one on the market , have had a look on some of the usual sites and some of the unsual ones.
 
I know it is not strictly an avr question but would appreciate any suggestions.
 
Regards

Hi Steven
 
If you want a really nice and professional finish try this idea.
 
Use one of the Hammond 1455 series. (they have 3D step models of their
enclosures if you have suitable software to edit them. I use Alibre Design)
 
http://www.hammondmfg.com/1455.htm
 
Next, use Front Panel Express to create your nice machined and engraved
front and rear panels.
 
http://www.schaeffer-ag.de/
 
Or if located in the US try their sister site.
 
http://www.frontpanelexpress.com/
 
I have used these cases and the panel software to create a very nice project
for both home and work. The software has DB9 cutouts so no need to do any
work to create them. You can then add engraved text of DXF logo's etc.
Programme has built in pricing so you see what the costs are up front.
 
I am not associate with either of these companies. Just a happy customer.

Nice link there Jeff.
 
Pity they don’t offer 3D models of the enclosures but I might email and ask them. Sometimes companies will offer based on signing an NDA first.

Dave,

Thanks another good idea, for another project maybe, the other message 
on cases led me to exactly the right one, and the cost is fantastic.

Thank you for the reply though.

No worries Steven.
 
It might come in handy for another project some day. I use them all the time
to make front panels for my data recorders and for one of custom designs.
Makes a very nice and professional looking design and sure beats cutting out
by hand and at a very reasonable price too.
