I've popped it back in. I can see two problems - (a) use of PABX without reference to the alternative PBX, and (b) the assumption that voice requires a BT adapter - true in the UK, Hong Kong and NZ perhaps, but probably not eleswhere --Snori 02:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't know what you mean about PABXs; from what I've read in the PBX article, PABX is not a regional- or country-specific term. I do see your point about the BT adapter; in the U.S. no adapter is needed, since you can plug a standard telephone cable (crimped with an RJ11 jack on the end) into an RJ45 socket. In many new installations these days installers will use one type wall socket plate, with RJ45 compatible sockets. The only difference between voice and data sockets (from the user's point of view) would be some sort of color coding scheme and/or an icon or a label on the plate itself. — EagleOne\Talk 03:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Although humorous, this image is not encyclopedic! Replace w/ more suitable one. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a datacentre that I can photograph, so somebody will have to do it or select an existing one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.161.22.188 (talk) 07:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

Hows that? --Hamish (Talk) 18:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

A fish-eye picture isn't encyclopedic either. 89.1.142.104 (talk) 21:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


I've seen ALOT worse than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.217.167.136 (talk) 04:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Home Use

I'm trying to find information about the rack mounting system in my home cabinet, but I keep only seeing information on 19" rack mounts. I'm sure the mounts in my home system are smaller, somewhere on the order of 5 or 6". Can anyone provide details? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.53.228.139 (talk) 21:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
