Rackmount Chassis for Spectrum Cable Modem

thingiverse

During my recent hardware upgrade to my home's network, I thought it might be time to figure out how to rackmount my cable modem. I'd always hated having it sit upright on top of my server rack and really wanted it incorporated in with the rest of the rack devices. After some time in SketchUp with a lot of measurements, this is the result.There were some key features that I wanted for this build. I wanted front panel access for the WAN ethernet, so the right side mounting wing has a spot for a keystone jack that can then plug into the WAN port on the back of the modem. I also wanted to add a little flair by having an illuminated Spectrum logo on the left side mounting wing. The lighting is provided by four 3V, 3mm LEDs (3 white and 1 blue). Power for both the modem and the lights come from the modem's original power adapter, which is then split using male and female barrel connectors and jacks.The printed build is made up of the main body with a back cover deep enough to accommodate the power cables. I've included files for both the keystone jack mounting wing and the Spectrum mounting wing, but if you don't want those, a plain mounting wing is included that works on both the left and right side. The wings are connected to the main body using 10mm M3 screws and nuts.PLEASE NOTE: the chassis is designed to fit my specific Spectrum cable modem, a Hitron EN2251. I believe there are a number of other Hitron modems with this shape, so they may work as well
