Hi folks,
I'm wondering if there is any problem with installing an Arris TM402P cable modem (Comcast) inside a metal structured media cabinet. Specifically, is there a problem with heat.
This will be in northern California, so it's a mild climate and the cabinet will be recessed in a closet wall. There will not be a fan inside the cabinet and the cabinet will be 16" x 14". This cabinet will be the central location for 5 telephone lines of cat 5e, 3 coax cable tv lines and 6 internet cat 5e lines. There will be a power strip on the wall outside the cabinet, so no 120 v inside the cabinet. There would be an 8 port gigabit ethernet switch along with the cable modem and a telephone/catv punch down module. Both the cable modem and the ethernet switch power supplies will plug in to a power strip on the wall outside the cabinet.
Thanks for your assistance.
