FritzBox 7583 DIN rail

A holder to attach a DIN rail to the back of a FritzBox 7583.

The 7583 has a very odd shape with a big cutout in the back, making it protrude quite far from the wall. To reclaim this lost space and to better organize my Raspberry Pi server setup I created this holder to mount a DIN rail to the back of the FritzBox and attach the RPi and a power supply to the rail. Alternatively the RPi can also be powered from one of the USB ports on the FritzBox, as long the the RPi doesn't draw more than the 900mA the FritzBox can supply.

Required material

250mm long, 7.5mm tall DIN rail (the 7583 is 240mm long)

Assembly

• Print DIN rail adaptor 2x
• Slot adaptors onto the ends of the rail with the hooks facing inwards
• Slip assembly over the top of the FritzBox or snap it on from the back
