Start with two independent mounts
The human brief is deliberately simple: one mount on either side of the switch, both fixed to the rear or side edge of the desk. Bring them inward to meet the case, then lock their positions. AI visualisation explores that arrangement, keeping the device and its cables beneath the working surface. The concept does not depend on the switch having its own mounting holes.
Adjust the spacing, support the edges
Each olive side arm connects to its own desk clamp. A short inward-facing lip supports the outer casing edge below it. Contact pads could cushion the ends of the case and help locate it. Moving the two mounts along the desk edge changes their spacing. The side arms position the case; the lips provide support beneath it. How well the locked mounts hold their positions still needs a physical sample check.
Leave the connections within reach
The broad case face is vertical and the narrow Ethernet panel faces down. Support lips need to stay outside the socket row, leaving access to the plug latches. Network and power leads remain below the desk, with enough room for their connectors and cable bends. Contact areas must be checked against the actual vents and power inlet rather than placed over them.
Give each fixing point a clear job
The desk clamp grips the wood between its fixed upper jaw and a lower pressure pad, moved by a thumb screw from below. Its continuous side arm carries the device support. Desk thickness, edge shape, grip depth, pad contact and tightening access all need to work together. Printed sections, metal threaded hardware and contact pads would be reviewed for the intended loads and repeated use.
Define the fit range before making a sample
Adjustable spacing can accommodate different case widths, but compatibility also depends on case depth, shape, mass and openings. Share desk and device dimensions, photographs of the intended mounting position, vent and connector locations, quantity and destination. A first sample would check installation, position retention, bottom support, cable access and removal. Fit and load limits would be established before claiming compatibility.
