Dynamic Engineering: Bracket Design
During my time at Dynamic Engineering, I have designed several front panel brackets for the company's various products. These designs have followed the various specifications, according to the type of card they are attached to. Whenever available, I will provide a link to the product page that these are associated with.
IP Carriers
The IP Carrier bracket is featured on 4 of Dynamic Engineering's products: the PCI3IP, PCI5IP, PCIe3IP, and PCIe5IP. The design's main feature is a swinging arm that is designed to lock down routed cables that connect to the far end of the board. I used two threaded flush fasteners to be the pivot and lock, which you can see in the images here.

VPX-RCB
This bracket is attached to the VPX-RCB board offered by Dynamic Engineering. I recaptured an older design for this bracket and adjusted the openings to accommodate new connectors and their positions.

Crypto
This design is for DE's Crypto Tape Connector board. Again, I was tasked to recapture the design and then adjust it for new connector sizes and positions. I changed the silkscreen on the bracket accordingly as well.

Blank
I made this design to go on DE's PCI or PCIe products whenever there are no front I/O connectors that are supposed to go through the bracket. It goes on several boards, such as the -BB versions of the IP carrier boards, mentioned above. I standardized the mounting hole pattern within the company on these types of boards, so it can go on any of them that may require a blank bracket.
