Guidelines for Installing the StrideLinx Router
When designing the layout of your system, always separate the devices that generate
high voltage and high electrical noise from the low-voltage, logic-type devices such as the
StrideLinx router. Also consider the heat-generating devices and locate the electronic-type
devices in the cooler areas of your cabinet. Reducing the exposure to a high-temperature
environment will extend the operating life of the StrideLinx router.
Consider also the routing of the wiring for the devices in the panel. Avoid placing low-voltage
signal wires and communications cables in the same tray with AC power wiring and high-
energy, rapidly-switched DC wiring.
The StrideLinx router is designed to be cooled using natural convection. For proper cooling,
you must provide a clearance of at least 25 mm [1 inch] above and below the device. Also,
allow at least 25 mm [1 inch] of depth between the front of the device and the inside of the
enclosure.
