Review on Extruded Aluminum Enclosure Black Upconverter by Andrew Griggs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Didn't fit, but the problem was easily solved

The box came in top condition. However, there are several questions. The connection holes were not centered and at the correct height. So the boards are slightly skewed and the screws cannot be tightened without stressing the board. Either that or the board has a slight offset. These things happen every time two sturdy products aren't made together. I solved it by enlarging the SMA hole. Since I'm planning on packing the whole setup into a shielded box anyway, and the clearances are still small, I doubt I'll run into any significant problems. I recommend the manufacturer to make the SMA hole about 1mm larger on both sides. It may look ugly, but a precisely sized narrow hole will not work.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says
