BCM50 Power Retention Clip

[gm85]

Hi Everyone,
I recently decommissioned a BCM50 from my work and am planning on using it for personal use.

Unfortunately the Power Retention Clip broke while the unit was being removed.

Does anyone know where I can find a replacement clip?

Thanks a lot

They aren't really necessary , I don't know of anyone that just sells the clip

Thanks for the response. Yeah the power connection seems pretty secure on its own. It's in the wall-mount cabinet, so I'll keep a bit of extra slack on the power cable in the cable guide so nothing tugs on it.

Those clips break easily. If something yanks on the power cord enough to pull it out, it will break that clip. If you have a wall mount the best thing to do is wrap it once around one of the plastic cable management arms and leave enough slack so the power cable reaches the connector on the BCM. This way if anything pulls the power supply, it will have to break the plastic piece before it disconnects the power.

In my experience, the only time I have seen power yanked out of a BCM50 it was the line cord coming from the power supply to the outlet. That was me drilling and rocking the ladder and instinctively grabbing at the first thing I could to keep from falling, lol.
