Let's Go Shopping

The Series 500 is a desktop style enclosure with an internal module depth of ~74mm - 126mm and available in the standard widths of 42HP, 84HP, 104HP, 126HP and 168HP. Other interim widths of 62HP, 146HP and 188HP are available on special order.

The Studio 500 Family

(Studio 500 Portable)
(Studio 500 Desktop - Studio 500 Desktop c/w End Cheeks - Lid)

White End Cheeks are available to cosmetically enhance the appearance of the Studio 500 aswell as raise the metal boat off the work surface to prevent scuffing and scratching of both the work surface and the boat.

With End Cheeks fitted you can fit a Studio LID as a deep lid. This lid allows a semi-patched boat to be transported without the need to unpatch.
To simplify patching between multiple boats we recommend the use of the ED142 Extenda-Patch.

(*) The indicated number of busboards (both powered and passive) is the recommended minimum configuration offering good power capacity and plenty of, and easily accessible, module power outlets. Passive busboards may be replaced with powered busboards if extra power is required (the number of module outlets does not change). So, for example, the Studio 500 84HP could have 2x ED705 giving a load capacity of +12V @ 3A and -12V @ 2A with 24 module outlets.

The Studio 500 has an option of having 2 rows of busboards (one under each 3U section rather than under the centre rails) which allows for a much larger degree of flexibility in the power distribution and module layout. This means you can more than double the loading capacities given in the table above.

Each boat is fitted with a 4HP Power Panel which allows the external 15VDC supply to be quickly and easily connected and disconnected. The 4HP Power Panel also includes 'Power In' status indication and an ON/OFF switch. Having the external power connection on the front panel also means that during transport there are no external parts that can get knocked or damaged and makes loading the case into a tight space easier.

An alternative to the Power Panel is to have a 'fixed connector' mounted on the back of the boat, you will loose the POWER IN status indicators and also the ON/OFF switch but gain and additional 4HP of module space.

The available module space is thus:-

104HP
