I noticed that when I got mine and started setting it up at home to bench test it. I've built a little 2 tier rack that I'm planning to mount everything on and then tuck it away in a locker in the boat, so I'm looking for ways to clean it up to make it a nice, neat install. I included a POE injector, just for future use, so I may look at using that instead of routing both power and network cables to save on some of the rats nest.The BR1 Max Mini accepts a POE connection through the WAN plug, I found that very strange since the LAN connector is what is going to mostly be used. Mine has been powered that way since I installed it, because I am too lazy to re-route the 12v plug connector, but that is on my todo list when I open the AV cabinet again.
Here's what it looks like so far, I'll trim the network cables to custom length, replace all the wall worts with power cables direct to the fuse block, paint the shelves and screw everything down.
