The VPR Floor Box PSU Bundle (One DC Cable) is an all inclusive bundle to complete a PSU for a VPR style, GDIY 11 space rack. The bundle is 100% complete with the exception of the AC cable that goes from the wall to the supply. Those are readily available everywhere and inexpensive so I don't see a need to stock them at the store. The Floor Box bundles are basically all the same with only a few exceptions. The main difference is the toroidal transformer. The toroid is different depending on if you want the 51x style or VPR style. The proper toroid is including in the respective bundles so just select a VPR or 51x Bundle and I will make sure you get the right transformer. Each and every Floor Box PSU Bundle is actually a "dual" supply. That means that with the supplied toroidal transformer, PCB and components kit, the PSU can power 22 modules. I have decided not to sell "half a components" kit as it just makes store stock way too complicated. In the grand scheme of things, the money saved is minimal as the toroid, PCB and Floor Box metal would not change. So, if you start with only one 11 space rack, the PSU is ready when it's time to add a second 11 space rack. All you need to do at that point is purchase another female cable mount Neutrik and some DC cable. So, the only thing separating a PSU for one 11 space GDIY rack and two 11 space racks is the additional DC cable and the proper Neutrik. This bundle comes with (1) 5' piece of 7-core DC cable and (1) 5-pin female cable mount Neutrik connector. If you want the DC cable to be longer, just visit the 7-core DC cable product page and add what you want to the cart. If you add "3" of the 7-core cable to your cart, I will ship (1) 8' cable. Remember, the bundle already comes with (1) 5' piece so you are merely adding to that. Once completed, this Floor Box PSU Bundle can supply DC to twenty two 500 series modules running on +/-16V at full VPR spec (130mA per module, per rail). Here are required items that we do not carry at the store: Solder, soldering iron and basic small hand tools Good assembly skills A decent understanding of schematics and electronic components ***Please note: The wiring of AC mains can be a dangerous task and result in bodily harm and/or serious injury. This wiring should only be carried out by a qualified electrician or individual. If you are unsure, seek professional help so you do not burn your house down or die!
