The new ASIUK5RETURN can be mounted almost directly up against the side of the panel or equipment wall thereby allowing for better utilization of space for other components in the system. Another option is to mount the ASIUK5RETURN in a double row configuration with the backs of the terminal blocks against each other which gives the customer the ability to have a considerable amount of wiring in a small amount of space. With this non-traditional design, the customer can now consider these and many other ways of laying a wiring panel that will best suit the application and make maximum use of the space allotted for wiring and other components.
