mediacowboy 438 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Do you think you could run both off one power connector? I am about to switch to a different desk and would love build a enclosure for both and just have one coaxial and power cable going to the unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 As long as the transformer is rated high enough to support two it should be no problem. Are you going to add a small switch, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am about to switch to a different desk and would love build a enclosure for both and just have one coaxial and power cable going to the unit Hi, I realise there is a difference in tuners but if it helps I've been powering 2 of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/SiliconDust-HDHomeRun-Compatible-HDHR4-2DT-UK/dp/B00Y2JYZOC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510344593&sr=8-1&keywords=hdhomerun With one adaptor and one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00XHJOGHY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for a couple years now.

mediacowboy 438 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I was thinking something like the pigtail near the bottom of the enclosure and a coaxial spilter. I'll have to draw something up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That was what I was going to do, but there are two patch cables, too. So you'll need to consider those, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'll need to consider those, too.Didnt even things of those but could hot glue two of these inside the enclosure next to the power and coaxial.

Guest rog Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Nice work, I have been thinking about doing the same for a couple of years and your post gave me the push I needed. Here is what I have so far, I plan on powering both units via poe using a poe splitter. I also had to add LED's for the tuner since i gave my old primes and the newer models no longer have tuner LEDs.

Guest asrequested Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) How are you going to make the PoE? Oh you mean split the power out? Nice! I have a PoE switch. I'll look into that. Edited December 14, 2017 by Doofus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rog Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) I am using this poe splitter, I plan to power it via my Unifi switch. The prime comes with a 3A power adapter but never pulls more than 1.2A so its within the specs of the POE splitter, going this route also allows me to cycle power to the primes remotely Edited December 15, 2017 by rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The splitter location has change since I took those pics. I'll post newer pictures once I receive the second poe adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rog Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 You going to use two of those? Yeah, I took it out the case and plan to stack them using standoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Yeah, I took it out the case and plan to stack them using standoffs. Nice you plan on putting a lid on it? I guess so if your pulling everything out of the cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm assuming that the voltage is the same? I've never looked at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rog Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I'm assuming that the voltage is the same? I've never looked at that. Yeah it I has selectable voltage. Nice you plan on putting a lid on it? I guess so if your pulling everything out of the cases. The rackmount case im currently using is pretty old and missing parts so I ordered a new case that should arrive tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rog Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Looks like my Poe idea is dead for now. I received my second poe adapter and I am having a ground loop issue with when the coax is connect to both primes. When the 2 adapters are connected, both primes end up pulling power from only 1 poe splitter. I have a fews ideas how to solve this problem so ill let you guys know once I figured it out.
