4 port gateway Safety Cable

Every piece of Theatre equipment has either a safety cable attached or a good spot to attach one. I've got 3 Gateways on various battons none of them have safety cables, nor can I find a decent place to clip or bolt one on. I don't trust the XLR outputs to hold the gateway it in the air, and I bet the cat5 cable would pull out without damaging the jack.

Q: Anyone find a good place to attach a safety cable?

  • Assuming you have the ETC standard hanging bracket, how about this..

    A little light thread-lock on the screws which attach the bracket to the gateway might not be a bad idea too.

  • I see that arrangement as useless. The fail point I'm concerned about is the bracket to gateway. Some light-duty thread lock would defiantly take care of that.
