Applications
This mounting bracket kit is used in professional network environments where Patton SmartNode devices must be installed in rack systems. This includes data centres, telecommunications installations, corporate networks, and other environments requiring structured and secure mounting of network devices. The SmartNode models mentioned serve as routers and VoIP devices, used in IP networks for data and voice transmission.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The mounting brackets are made of robust metal and are designed for attachment to the side rails of a 19-inch rack. They enable stable and secure mounting of SmartNode devices, minimizing vibrations and mechanical stress. The brackets are dimensioned to cover a housing width of 11.5 inches, ensuring correct positioning within the rack. Installation is carried out using screws included in the delivery, allowing for simple and secure fastening.

Technology Explained Simply
The mounting brackets are mechanical fastening elements that fix the device to the rack rails. They transfer the weight load of the device to the rack structure and prevent shifting or falling. The use of 19-inch mounting brackets is standard in IT infrastructure to install devices in a uniform format. The term “11.5 inch case” refers to the width of the device housing, which is correctly positioned in a 19-inch rack using the brackets.

Compatibility and Accessories
The kit is compatible with the specified Patton SmartNode models: 463X, 465X, 466X, 467X, 494X, 495X, 496X, 497X, 498X, 499X, and the 5400 series. The mounting brackets are specifically developed for these devices to ensure secure and precise mounting. No additional accessories or adapters are required, as the brackets are directly attached to the devices. The screws required for installation are included in the delivery.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by attaching the mounting brackets to the side openings of the SmartNode device. The device is then inserted into the 19-inch rack and secured to the rack rails using the screws included in the kit. The installation is simple and requires no additional tools other than a screwdriver. The brackets ensure stable positioning and prevent the device from shifting within the rack.

Operational Advantages
The use of the mounting bracket kit ensures secure and orderly installation of SmartNode devices in the rack. This improves accessibility, maintainability, and cooling of the devices. The stable mounting reduces the risk of mechanical damage and supports a professional network infrastructure. Compatibility with a wide range of SmartNode models makes the kit universally applicable in various network environments.
