10.4" Rack Mount for FLAT-PAK Series Products

Ideal Use Cases

The RDL FP-HRA is a rack-mount adapter designed specifically for 10.4-inch racks and FLAT-PAK modules. It gives installers a defined way to place one or more compatible modules within a compact rack format while using two rack units. This makes it well suited to systems that already use FLAT-PAK products, installations that need several modules grouped in one rack area, and builds where module position may need to vary from one configuration to another. Its role is focused: convert available 10.4-inch rack space into an organized mounting location for the FLAT-PAK series.

Why Choose This Model

Choose this model when compatibility with a 10.4-inch rack and the FLAT-PAK form factor are the central requirements. The FP-HRA is not presented as a general-purpose shelf; it is an adapter for mounting one or more FLAT-PAK modules. Its exclusive track system is the key practical advantage, allowing flexible module placement rather than limiting the installer to a single fixed position. Because the adapter occupies two RUs, rack planning is straightforward: reserve two rack units for the assembly and determine how the required FLAT-PAK module or modules should be arranged along the track.

Installation and Integration

Installation planning begins with a compatible 10.4-inch rack and two available rack units. Position the FP-HRA in the intended rack location, then use its track system to arrange the FLAT-PAK modules required by the system design. The product information confirms support for one or more modules, so the same adapter can serve a single-module installation or a grouped arrangement. The track is intended to provide flexibility in where modules are placed, helping the physical layout follow the needs of the installation.

Before assembly, confirm the number and type of FLAT-PAK modules being used and allow the stated two-RU space. A PDF specification sheet is available for additional product reference. The FP-HRA is a mounting adapter, and no electrical connectivity, power, cabling, or operating-environment specifications are provided in the source information.

Performance Highlights

The FP-HRA’s performance is defined by fit and placement rather than signal processing. It fits 10.4-inch racks, mounts one or more FLAT-PAK modules, and consumes two rack units. The exclusive track system enables flexible positioning of supported modules within the adapter. Together, those characteristics establish a clear installation envelope: a known rack format, a known two-RU space requirement, and adaptable module placement.

The listed shipping weight is 0.98 lb, and the package type is identified as an envelope. These details are useful when receiving, staging, or planning delivery of the adapter. The listed tariff code is 8543.70.9860, while the available datasheet is supplied in PDF format.

What Makes It Different

What separates the FP-HRA from a simple fixed mounting point is the combination of FLAT-PAK compatibility and its track-based placement system. The track lets the mounting arrangement respond to the selected module mix instead of imposing only one predetermined location. Support for one or more FLAT-PAK modules also gives the adapter relevance across different system sizes, provided the installation remains within its stated compatibility.

The two-RU format keeps its rack requirement explicit, while the 10.4-inch fit identifies the rack format it serves. The model and manufacturer part number are both FP-HRA, making it easy to match the adapter to its corresponding documentation and specification sheet.

Final Assessment

For installations built around FLAT-PAK products in a 10.4-inch rack, the FP-HRA offers a direct and clearly defined mounting solution. It combines capacity for one or more modules with an exclusive track that supports flexible placement, all within a two-RU rack allocation. Those are the primary reasons to select it: correct rack fit, FLAT-PAK compatibility, predictable space planning, and placement flexibility. The FP-HRA is the focused choice when a project calls for a rack-mount adapter and the layout benefits from positioning FLAT-PAK modules along a dedicated track.
