[TenTec] Power distribution in Orion

[Fernando]

Hello.

I wrote and posted the pictures their on the Wiki.

Its has been over 3yrs without a problem. Please

note that the Orion sits in a rack and rarely taken out.

All of my cabling for the rigs are done thru the back of

the rack and have bumped against the Power Poles. 

Never has it come out nor have I needed to reseat it.

Same for the Jupiter. The Jupiter doesn’t stick out on

the back as the Orion though.  

Oh.. I have also installed PP on the KWM-380 (separate

Cinch Jones connector wire for 12V) and

the Hercules II (two sets of 45amps in parallel).


The RX-340 does not lend itself well for 12VDC, hi..

I’m happy with the Power Poles. 

Others might have had different experiences.
