Point Size (required): Assign a point value to a component based on physical size. With a consistent point value system you will be able to determine how much equipment can fit inside an enclosure. For example, if you have a pedestal rated to hold 30 points worth of components, then you can situate three 2-port taps rated at 10 points each into the box. A fourth 2-port tap would total 40 points, exceeding the rated 30 points of the pedestal.
