More wiring - part 4

Over the last couple of weeks, I have worked on the other 3 modules for switch controls - as described on this previous post: https://lagaredascq.blogspot.com/2020/05/wiring-part-2.html

And everything together:

I've also tested connecting of ESU modules together to the ECoS Command Station:

• ECoSlink Terminal - http://www.esu.eu/en/products/digital-control/ecoslink-terminal/
• ECoSDetector - http://www.esu.eu/en/products/digital-control/ecosdetector/ecosdetector/
• 3x ECoSDetector RC - http://www.esu.eu/en/products/digital-control/ecosdetector/ecosdetector-rc/

Rack for all electronic modules

After a bit of research, I decided to go for a server rack to hold all the electronic modules as well as the ESU ECoS command station. 

Here's what I purchased:

• Sysracks 18U 24inch Deep Server Rack Cabinet - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MR0IP2N

This unit works well as it can slide under the layout table and I can put the ESU ECoS command station on top of it when operating the layout.

• 3x NavePoint Sliding Rack Vented Server Shelf 1U 19 Inch - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6JR4JY

One shelf for the Lenz LS150, one shelf for the ESU ECoS Detector, and the top one for the command station.

• StarTech.com 8 Outlet Horizontal 1U Rack Mount PDU Power Strip with Surge Protection - 120V/15A - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035PS5AE

The rack came with a PDU, but the outlets were front-facing and it didn't work since the sliding shelves take the complete depth of the rack. This PDU has surge protection and the outlets are in the back.

• NavePoint 2U Blank Rack Mount Panel Spacer - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060RUV4M/

I'll show on another post why I wanted this panel. It will hold an additional electronic display.

Overall, it took a long while to build the rack. It's quite cheap, so it came with some defects; the biggest one of which is that it is slightly wobbly. Here's the final result and I'm pretty happy about it:
